Wiki - Dictionary Definition and Overview |
|
Wiki :
A collaborative web site comprised of the
perpetual collective work of many authors. Similar to a web
log in structure and logic, a wiki allows anyone, using a
browser interface, to edit, delete or modify content that has
been placed on the web site including the work of other
authors. In contrast, a blog, typically authored by an
individual, does not allow visitors to change the original
posted material, only add comments.
The term can also refer to the software used to create the
site. Wiki wiki means "quick" in Hawaiian. The first wiki was
created by Ward Cunnigham in 1995.
