Wikis

Some characteristics.

A wiki invites all users to edit any page or to create new pages within the wiki Web site.

Wiki promotes meaningful topic associations between different pages by making page link creation.

A wiki is not a carefully crafted site for casual visitors. Instead, it seeks to involve the visitor in an ongoing process of creation and collaboration that constantly changes the Web site landscape.

What do wikis permit?

Some wiki engines are open sources, whereas others are proprietary.

 Some permit control over different functions (levels of access)

for example, editing rights may permit changing, adding or removing material.

Others may permit access without enforcing access control.

 Other rules may also be imposed to organize content.

Some popular wikis are:

Wikipedia.

Wikitravel.

wikihow.

Wikisummaries.
