What is the point of ScienceWISE annotation on arXiv? This is an example of a semantically tagged paper: Distributed Joint Source and Channel Coding with Low-Density Parity-Check Codes. On arXiv, it looks like this:



In the PDF (with Chrome as PDF viewer), it looks like this:



What is the point of this? Why should I, as an author, add this to any publication?

Shouldn't I, if I want a link to Wikipedia, just add it by myself without the usertracking (respecting the privacy of the reader) to my article? And shouldn't I be able to find content of much higher quality and explicitly name it in my paper if it is necessary or otherwise, if it is not necessary because it is quite basic knowledge in the domain I write about just assume that the reader will know what I mean / know the textbooks where he /she can look up the definitions?

From ScienceWISE FAQ:


  Why do you need all this if there is Wikipedia?
  
  The main difference of our Ontology from most existing online resources is in a possibility to have several single-authored definitions of the same concept. Unlike Wikipedia, ScienceWISE provides a mechanism for scientific community ranking (by linking against the best definitions) and provides a peer-run quality assurance system.


You may have read that already, but unless you explain what is not clear your question is either impossible to further answer or a disguised criticism.
