Its completeness lies in that it contains almost all kinds of reference books, including all aspects of knowledge. Known as "a university without walls".

Encyclopedia is a collection of knowledge and an overview of all kinds of knowledge. Whether there is an excellent comprehensive encyclopedia has become one of the symbols to measure the level of scientific and cultural development of a country.

The concept of the work

Encyclopedia (also known as encyclopedia) (Romanization in eastern Fujian: Bakowzu' own ts' ju) refers to large reference books. It is arranged in the form of a dictionary, collecting professional terms and terms of various subjects, classifying items, explaining them in detail and introducing cultural and scientific knowledge more completely. There are comprehensive encyclopedias and specialized encyclopedias, such as medical encyclopedias and engineering encyclopedias.

An encyclopedia is a written summary of all or a certain kind of knowledge accumulated by human beings in the past.

Arrangement pattern

Most modern western encyclopedias are arranged alphabetically. If we pay attention to the retrieval function, we generally adopt the idea of compiling small items. Pay attention to the educational function of encyclopedias, and adopt the way of big entries. There are four ways of revision: republishing, supplementing, publishing yearbook and continuous revision.

Some common arrangements in encyclopedias:

seriation

Classified arrangement

Category arrangement, items are arranged alphabetically.

Project division

Entries in an encyclopedia include titles, texts, charts, etc. In the compilation of encyclopedias, the naming of entries is very important. Good naming should be easy to search. Some scholars believe that items should be independent topics and should be based on the principle of facilitating readers' retrieval. In addition, the theme of the entries should be objectively formed, not artificially drawn up. For example, the Gulf War is an objective fact, and the "dog myth" is a man-made theme.

The name of the project should be clear and definite. For example, it is difficult to define "new" weapons.

Subject principle

Principle of subject independence: the subject should be relatively independent, just like when we go to a company to do things, the first thing that comes to mind is the name and address of the company, not a certain department.

Principle of objective formation: This theme should be objectively formed and understood by people in the process of understanding and transforming the world, not artificially drawn up. For example, the myth of creation is an objective type of myth theme, but the myth of dogs is an artificially generalized theme. Therefore, it lacks recognized norms and certainty.

Single theme principle: If time and space are two themes, they should be separated.

Principle of accuracy: the project name should accurately indicate the theme of the project.

Principle of universality: Standard or conventional names should be used.

Nominal principle: the name of the project should be nominal and static. For example, "Liberation of Hainan Island" should be changed to "Battle of Hainan Island".

Principle of brevity: Don't use Tang poetry if you use it.

Non-research principle: encyclopedia is not a research paper.

Non-application principle: encyclopedias are not intended to guide specific applications.

The classification structure of encyclopedia and its constantly updated function make it very suitable for online or offline computer format. In recent years, most major encyclopedias have been digitized to varying degrees. Publications based on magnetic disks (especially optical disks) have the advantages of portability and low cost. At the same time, electronic encyclopedia can also contain various multimedia formats that traditional media cannot carry, such as animation, audio-visual or video. Dynamic linking between articles with related concepts is also an important advantage. Online encyclopedias have dynamic advantages: new information can be presented almost immediately without waiting for the next publication.
