Description
TermWiki.com is a social learning network aimed at sharing knowledge and connecting people with similar interests around the world. Based on terms and short encyclopedia-like entries in multiple languages, all data in the system is user-created and user-managed. Contributed information is always attributed to the person who created it—so creators will always be recognized for their expert advice, information, and insight. TermWiki is designed to support all manner of discussion, welcoming users to contact each other, invite their friends, comment on terms, host discussions in the forums, or ask questions of the entire user community.
Success to date
TermWiki has been driven by the user community to become one of the largest wiki-based platforms in the world, with over 1,400,000 terms in 75 languages and 1200 subjects. TermWiki solves the Internet-wide issue of scattered and unsorted information by classifying each entry in a number of different ways, including industry and product category, meaning that everyone can access specific, accurate information.
I particularly like how you can find entries relevant to particular subjects and industries on the site - and then find their non-generic translations also.
