About this data
This page examines the semantic evolution of images featured in the infoboxes of Wikipedia's 'List of...' articles. We analyse how the core subject matter or meaning represented by these images changes year on year.
By comparing the descriptions of images used over time, we calculate the average semantic similarity. This allows us to quantify how frequently images with significantly different meanings are introduced into these infoboxes annually.
This metric offers a unique perspective on how Wikipedia's categorisation and visual representation of topics within 'List of...' articles evolve, distinct from purely aesthetic or technical image attributes.
