New thread: Benefits of Scientolipedia

New page

Here's a list of benefits of the Scientolipedia website. (these will be added-to on a daily or at least regular basis until this has become a complete reference document)

The "platform" the website uses is a very powerful and versatile piece of software engineering. Today it is supported and constantly being upgraded by some of the top technology professionals in the world, a large percentage of which do so on a volunteer basis. Since it's the same software Wikipedia uses, thousands of people love contributing to the global knowledge base of information that Wikipedia makes available to many millions of people around the world for free. Many of those same people have a high purpose to make sure the software technology behind the scenes, stays up-to-date and maintained.

We can benefit from this technology for our own 'community'. Here's some of the reasons why we should do so.

1. The biggest benefit of the Wiki platform is that it allows for any number of people to contribute content to it.
Do not make the mistake of thinking other sites like blogs and forums do the same thing because they allow visitors or logged-in users to comment and discuss things there.
When I say "content" I am talking about articles, new posts, new pages on the site.
I am talking about the ability to add or edit actual article pages without having to submit them to the site owner for approval and posting.
That simple idea took Wikipedia to become one of the top 5 highest ranked and trafficked websites on the entire Internet.
It's extremely powerful to allow many many people to create the content for a website.
Scientolipedia.org has that benefit.

 Stay with me now, in just a few seconds the fogginess you might be experiencing  will clear up.
-So why is it called a "Semantic" wiki? First off, it's what the guys who run the Internet came up with to describe the next generation of the World Wide Web. In fact, the guy who invented the WWW, Tim Berner-Lee, is one of those behind the idea.

 The usual understanding of the word "semantics" has to do with - "The branch of linguistics and logic concerned with meaning"
