W9. Wikipedia culture & Wikipedia in culture / CAI MUBO

The wave of times of the rapid development of the Internet has extended the concepts of collaborative design and concurrent engineering (Computer Aided Design (CAD)), which are widely used in enterprises in the late 20th century, to the application of the website, allowing the vast majority of Internet users Participate in the collection, editing and delivery of content. In recent years, this network technology and service called Wiki has become a rising star of Web 2.0, a symbol of the new era of the Internet, and it has exerted the spirit of "everyone participates" to the extreme. Now, the Wiki website and its users have spread all over the world.
  
Wikis are cheap, extensible, and easy to maintain. It does not require large-scale software deployment, it can be well connected with existing network infrastructure. It uses a simplified syntax, replaces the complex HTML, plus the editing tools of the WEB interface, lowers the threshold of content maintenance; it can quickly create, access, and change hypertext pages, and also directly establish links by keyword names; The link target of the page may not yet exist. Create these pages by clicking the link, so that the system will continue to grow; because it is so easy to remove junk text and advertisements, the last remaining content will be the most meaningful content and the best participation By.

Wiki is open, observable, and easy to control. It is based on the Web and does not require much learning time when used, and allows users to determine the relevance of the content and arbitrarily create, modify, and delete pages. At the same time, version control is implemented through a text database or a relational database. Changes in pages in the system can also be observed by visitors, and the previous version can be retrieved at any time, and can be compared with the previous version. Version control not only makes it possible for multiple people to collaborate, but also protects the saved content from being lost.

Wiki also has the ability to self-organize, converge and reproduce. If enterprises and institutions use Wiki, they can create their own website structure according to actual needs, rather than the structure imposed by developers that other content software must accept. Like the content of the page, the organizational structure of the entire hypertext can also be modified and evolved. Multiple pages with multiple content in the system can be aggregated into one of them, and the corresponding link structure changes accordingly. Compared with the workflow structure of content management software, the inherent collaborative nature of Wiki can achieve rapid information integration, and traditional management tools can not reproduce the collaboration and participation environment created by Wiki at all.

  1. I agree that Wikipedia's cheap, scalable nature has the advantage of creating content. I think Wikipedia will not only be used in various media but also appear frequently in the future.
