Study On The Mechanism Of Multi-persons' Collaborative Knowledge Production Based On Web2.0

Wikipedia is a wiki-based, multilingual and free web encyclopedia founded in 2001; its goal is"supplying a free encyclopedia written by users'own language to everyone on earth". After being built, Wikipedia has got massive success, which can be reflected in both rapidly expanded scope and continuously improved quality. Its success is closely related to its own property of open. Through giving everyone the right to define and interpret knowledge, Wikipedia introduced all people into knowledge production activities and broke the closed environment of traditional knowledge production, it also represents a new knowledge production mode——multi-persons'collaborative knowledge production model. Taking Wikipedia and hudong.com as an example and taking multi-discipline such as communication and synergetics as studying perspective, this study does thorough and systematic discussion to the multi-persons'collaborative knowledge production model. It generally expounds the operation and the characteristic of traditional knowledge production model and systematically analyzes the operating mechanism of the multi-persons'collaborative knowledge production model including accessing mechanism, producing mechanism and consuming mechanism. It also fully discusses the advantage and shortcomings of the multi-persons'collaborative knowledge production model. In addition, by comparing the operating differences between Wikipedia and hudong.com, this study interprets the evolvement of the multi-persons'collaborative knowledge production model in the process of application and the reasons for evolving. It also demonstrates the feasibility of the multi-persons'collaborative knowledge production model from the perspective of extension.
