The Ministry of Communications of Brazil (minicom) has
launched a tool of communication for the society: WikiCom, a kind of virtual
encyclopedia. Access to http://wikicom.mc.gov.br.
The new
tool will be
consulted through the
Internet in terms of the
most diverse areas of
knowledge related
to the
Ministry of Communications and its services, for
example,
electronic communication, telecommunication, digital inclusion
and postal
services.
Anyone
with a
computer connected to the
Internet can access
the this channel.
The system works like an
encyclopedia where entries are added,
are consulted and can be modified by users.
The contribution of Internet is one of the key differentiators of the mechanism, which is developed from collective constructions.
What is wiki?
Wiki is a collection
of many interlinked
pages; each
of them can be viewed and edited by users,
following certain safety
measures to prevent the
publication of incorrect
information. One feature is the ease editing and
the possibility of writing
in a collective free group, as is done in Wikipedia, one of the most known systems.
