W3.1 ZHANG ZEHUA

Based on large-scale user collaboration on the Internet platform, knowledge production has become a new knowledge production model. The new knowledge production system places more emphasis on human and social effects, which is an essential change from the traditional focus on economic benefits, highlighting the humanistic value of knowledge. Wikipedia is an important new crowdsourced method of knowledge production and dissemination. The open content production mechanism and the characteristics of universal participation enable the extensive gathering of knowledge and promote the exchange and popularization of knowledge. However, this method also has some shortcomings, such as insufficient information authority and false information.

In the operation process, Wikipedia has developed an innovative knowledge production mechanism and is supported by strong technical support. In the collaborative production process of Wikipedia knowledge, various technical support functions, such as IP banning, sandbox testing, page locking and update notifications, provide information editors with a standardized way of displaying information, while also ensuring the integrity of Wikipedia. Entries are not maliciously edited or destroyed, which ensures the quality of knowledge to a certain extent and protects the original author's enthusiasm and rights to continue creating information. The all-encompassing knowledge content is also a major feature of Wikipedia. The entry content of Wikipedia is constantly changing with the development of a hot spot. At the same time, with the cooperation of users, new entry content is constantly emerging, such as "Wikipedia", "Wiki Quotes" and "Wiki Library" projects The realization of wiki is also the result of the continuous efforts of many information editors. At the same time, there are also some editors who are very professional in certain fields to participate in the co-construction of wiki content, so that information is no longer limited to a certain time and space. The establishment of "Wiki News" also integrates news from many authoritative media and comprehensively reports it to the world, so that the content in Wiki applications will always keep up with the pace of world development. Different from other profit-driven methods of online knowledge production, Wikipedia always maintains a neutral attitude towards knowledge production, trying to keep information editors from being interfered by external factors such as religion, region, and policy, so that various opinions can be expressed on Wikipedia. expressed in the encyclopedia.

However, because anyone can edit entries of interest through the Wikipedia platform, limited to Wikipedia’s existing censorship technology and mechanisms, in addition to the screening and deletion of some malicious attacks and hoaxes, other information The quality of the content is not well controlled, so that content that does not have the above two main problems can be listed in the entries. At the same time, a lot of content that has no factual basis is also displayed to the public in the entries. This has greatly affected the credibility and authority of Wikipedia information, and also increased the "noise" of information in the Internet era, making it difficult for the audience to distinguish authenticity from the massive information, making it more difficult to use. Although Wiki has been used by many subjects as a collaborative knowledge production platform for online publishing, and many scientific research projects edit their scientific research results into entries and list them in Wikipedia, it has not been widely used by researchers to create permanent scientific records. Knowledge. Collaborative knowledge production is very important to many researchers, but these jointly created knowledge results are updated very quickly, and these collaborative efforts need to be transformed into tangible knowledge results at a very fast speed. At present, many scientific and technological achievements adopt unconventional ways of displaying results, such as through Wikipedia, etc. As a result, many very valuable scientific research results have been produced on such new platforms. However, authoritative institutions and libraries in academic research have not adopted some knowledge results in Wikipedia, and the knowledge results in Wikipedia have not been published and disseminated to the public in an authoritative way, resulting in the transformation of these work results into knowledge. The efficiency is reduced, resulting in a waste of resources, making it difficult to connect knowledge from production to its role. The production characteristics of "crowdsourcing" determine that those who produce knowledge are not individuals or organizations that are easy to distinguish in the traditional sense. The content of crowd cooperation makes the issue of copyright ownership prominent. Similar to the issue of song copyright in music copyright, it is difficult for anyone to own the complete copyright of a song alone. Usually the copyright of lyrics, sound recording and melody is owned separately by different creators. The open content production method allows anyone to change the original content and add their own new content, making it difficult for knowledge to be reflected in the original content. At the same time, the infringement method is more hidden, making the copyright of group creation more difficult. Protection is more difficult.

In the Internet era, the production method of knowledge has undergone tremendous changes compared with the traditional method. Everyone can contribute their own knowledge, and the point-to-face communication mode also enhances the radiation of information utility. As a digital tool capable of processing and disseminating various types of electrical knowledge in real time, computer networks are the largest and most globalized man-made commons in human society, making the social input-output process of knowledge production highly intensive and simplified. In the new era of knowledge production, the sharing and organization of information should be enhanced. At the same time, the problems faced by knowledge production are becoming increasingly prominent. First, information is becoming increasingly dispersed and fragmented, resulting in a certain degree of chaos and disorder; second, Spam information continues to increase, requiring effective screening of information; third, the massive accumulation of information will soon show a trend of excess. In the case of Wikipedia, although the knowledge production and dissemination mechanism has shortcomings, its contribution to modern knowledge society cannot be ignored. The crowdsourcing knowledge production method makes full use of collective wisdom and power, integrates resources from related industries, and makes the knowledge production process more transparent. Development costs are effectively controlled. Generally speaking, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
