Abstract: Abstract Some decades ago content on which people base important judgment used to be provided by relatively few, institutional sources like Encyclopedias. Since the 1990s the Internet has become an invaluable source of information for a growing number of people. While ten years ago web content has also only been provided by a limited number of institutions or individuals, today’s Web 2.0 technologies have enabled nearly every web user to act not only as consumer, but also as producer of content. User contribution is at the core of many services available on the Web and as such, is deeply built into those service architectures. Examples are wikis like Wikipedia, that are entirely based on content contributed by multiple users and modifiable at any time by any of them.
