Dear Members,
I am a PhD student in a reputed university. My Research is on blog
classification using Wikipedia Categories.As for my experiment, I use 12 main
categories of Wikipedia.I want to identify " which particular article belongs
to which main 12 categories?".So I wrote a program to collect the subcategories
of each article and classify based on 12 categories offline.
I have downloaded already wiki-dump which consists of around 3 million article
titles.My program takes this 3 million article titles and goes to online
Wikipedia website and fetch the subcategories.Our university network
administrators are worried that, Wikipedia would consider as DDOS attack and
could block our IP address, if my program functions.In order to get permission
from Wikipedia, I was searching allover. I could able to find wikien-l members
can help me.Could you please suggest me, whom to contact, what is the procedure
to get approval for our IP address to do the process or other suggestions
Eagerly waiting for a positive reply
Thanks and RegardsRamesh
