This wiki serves as a collaborative structured resource for the research and design of prediction markets. The mapping of the domain vocabulary to market implementations provides a repository of examples that can be used for a better understanding of the operations and performance of prediction markets in a variety of settings and configurations.
+
This wiki grows out of ongoing research work in the field of Prediction Markets and Collective Intelligence which is performed at the [http://mba2.haifa.ac.il/index.php/english- Graduate School of Management] of the [http://www.haifa.ac.il/index_eng.html University of Haifa], under the supervision of Prof. [http://rafaeli.net/ Sheizaf Rafaeli] and [http://gsb.haifa.ac.il/~draban/home/ Dr. Daphne Raban]. At its core lies a mapping of domain vocabulary to market implementations which is presented in a paper ''"P-MART: Towards a Classification of Online Prediction Markets"'', currently under review.
-
The wiki is structured as a cross reference of Prediction Market implementations and market properties. The description of each market is contained in a separate wiki article and tagged with its properties (in the form of wiki categories). In this way it is possible to view the property of each market, and access any market from any of its market property. It is also possible to access all markets and market properties from the sidebar. In the main page you will find an overview of the Prediction Markets classification, where each of the market property is listed in '''bold''' and links to its category page.

True to our belief in the value of collaboration we encourage you to contribute to this wiki. It is expected that through on-going contribution the domain vocabulary will be fine-tuned as the domain knowledge expands, and the implementation repository will grow as new examples emerge.
