  Wikipedia is one of the most visited websites in the world and is also a
frequent subject of scientific research. However, the analytical possibilities
of Wikipedia information have not yet been analyzed considering at the same
time both a large volume of pages and attributes. The main objective of this
work is to offer a methodological framework and an open knowledge graph for the
informetric large-scale study of Wikipedia. Features of Wikipedia pages are
compared with those of scientific publications to highlight the
(di)similarities between the two types of documents. Based on this comparison,
different analytical possibilities that Wikipedia and its various data sources
offer are explored, ultimately offering a set of metrics meant to study
Wikipedia from different analytical dimensions. In parallel, a complete
dedicated dataset of the English Wikipedia was built (and shared) following a
relational model. Finally, a descriptive case study is carried out on the
English Wikipedia dataset to illustrate the analytical potential of the
knowledge graph and its metrics.
