The knowledge, their accumulation, recording and reuse are
the vectors of culture, the striking characteristic and differential of the
human species, in addition to their biological characteristics. Today's society
is identified, both in academy and in the imagination of the ordinary citizen,
as the knowledge society, because of the central role of this as a catalyst of
the production system, generator of wealth and promoter of citizenship and
welfare in society today. Wikipedia is the modern version of the Enlightenment
ideal of reason, of education and knowledge as mechanisms to achieve a fairer
society. Contemporary heir of the ideals of "encyclopedia" of Diderot
and d'Alembert, is an unprecedented experience, of generation, organization,
evaluation, promotion, dissemination and sharing of knowledge, openly and for a
community wide, disseminated by many countries and in different
languages.
