Grants:IdeaLab/WikiWorld
That is a 4-dimensional place that collects Wikipedia pages, Wikicommons files, and locates them in the precise place and time etc. In addition to this, any user will be able to perform a search by typing in an hour or a day of a specified period of time, and in any place of the map the most significant historical events will be marked (on higher or lower "event notability" will perhaps be called a votation among users) with images documents exhibits etc. etc. Similarly, every famous person will be located in the place where She/He was as reported by documentary sources.
It will be a new way of seeing and presenting the encyclopedia (in a format that will no longer be linear, or shall we say "paratactic", derived from the paper model: but a three-dimensional format, modeled on reality, and able to scroll in time)

Sustainability[edit]
Our project will be a platform designed to advance exponentially just as a new form of knowledge acquisition.
