Presentation of the knowledge base

Functioning[edit]

The knowledge base (or wiki) is a collection of articles written in a collaborative way. Each article can be attached to several themes and tags. The traditional hierarchical data structure (folder/subfolder) is abandoned to move to an organization based on structured data..

Objectives and benefits[edit]

One of the aim of the base is to free users from the mass of mails exchanged between colleagues and to communicate directly on an unique platform so that they lose no time with knowledge scattered between multiple supports – emails, office documents.

In addition, gathering knowledge on an unique platform allows you to compare to detect the missing information, contradictory or obsolete.

Functionalities[edit]

Versioning[edit]

Visualize different versions of each article, cancel any undesired modification with one click (depending on the rights. Show differences between two versions of the same page. Come back to any previous version.).

The technology used: MediaWiki, wiki software free and open source…[edit]

Our wikis use the software MediaWiki (also used by Wikipedia) and several extensions among Semantic MediaWiki and Visual Editor.

The free software and his extensions allow us to propose you prices always more competitive compare to solutions based in paid software.

In addition Wikipedia that depend technically on MediaWiki with an enormous community of volunteer developers is a gauge of perennity of the software MediaWiki and of the maintain of the quality. In fact the risk of an open source is that the number of developers decreases and the project is abandoned.

In addition to be used by a lot of public projects, number of enterprises or organizations like the OTAN, NASA, Intel or VistaPrint use them in intern, we then talk about private wiki.
