Wiki v.s AcademiXML : Diagram

The writing and reading process of the two platforms can be expressed in the following diagrams.

Wiki model: readers access a singular knowledge.

AcademiXML model : readers choose the knowledge to access (editor/aggregator)

In the wiki model, authors contribute to a singular knowledge, which appears exactly the same to all viewers (Many makes One platform). In the AcademiXML model, authors contribute objects of knowledge into a database, which appear differently to each viewer based on how they filter the information (Many makes Many platform). An author in AcademiXML can also contribute a ‘collection’, which are relevant groupings of knowledge objects, similar to playlists in iTunes or Youtube. In a traditional academic sense, a collection can be seen as a book, thesis or paper: a collection, represents the idea constructed from the inter-linked knowledge objects. Furthermore, a collection of collections, or even a collection of collections of collections can be contributed in AcademiXML.
