With an emphasis on peer–produced content and collaboration, Wikipedia exemplifies a departure from traditional management and organizational models. This iconic "project" has been variously characterized as a hive mind and an information revolution, attracting millions of new users even as it has been denigrated as anarchic and plagued by misinformation. Have Wikipedia's structure and inner workings promoted its astonishing growth and enduring public relevance? In Common Knowledge?, Dariusz Jemielniak draws on his academic expertise and years of active participation within the Wikipedia community to take readers inside the site, illuminating how it functions and deconstructing its distinctive organization. Against a backdrop of misconceptions about its governance, authenticity, and accessibility, Jemielniak delivers the first ethnography of Wikipedia, revealing that it is not entirely at the mercy of the public: instead, it balances open access and power with a unique bureaucracy that takes a page from traditional organizational forms. Along the way, Jemielniak incorporates fascinating cases that highlight the tug of war among the participants as they forge ahead in this pioneering environment.

Cherchez n'importe quel mot sur Google... la première page de résultats, celle qui compte, vous renverra presque invariablement à un article de Wikipédia. Comment cette encyclopédie d'un nouveau genre s'est-elle installée comme une source universelle de connaissance, et désormais comme un réflexe intellectuel ? Quelles sont les nouvelles tendances sociétales révélées par Wikipédia ? S'agit-il d'un modèle qui préfigure la manière dont nous allons étudier, travailler, et même vivre ensemble ? peut-on parler d'une génération Wikipédia ? Wikipédia est-elle l'expression du soft power américain, une percée libérale dans le monde de la connaissance ou bien un authentique système collectiviste ? faut-il comprendre son fonctionnement comme celui d'une organisation politique ? Peut-on soumettre la production et la diffusion des connaissances à une nouvelle forme de démocratie ? L'utilisation de Wikipédia est devenue si courante qu'il était nécessaire de faire le point sur les chances et les risques liés à ces nouvelles pratiques. Il est indispensable de mesurer leur impact sur la recherche d'informations, la propriété intellectuelle ou l'économie de la connaissance, d'en retracer les bouleversements encore récents et d'esquisse ceux qui se préparent. Par une approche philosophique et sociologique, l'ouvrage vise une analyse impartiale de l'encyclopédie collaborative, et dévoile l'un après l'autre les enjeux de ce phénomène émergent, le rattachant aux tendances de fond de la modernité. Le phénomène Wikipédia, innovation majeure dans la production et la diffusion du savoir, permet également d'éclairer d'autres évolutions de la société contemporaine

As technology makes it easier for people to work together, large-scale collaboration is becoming increasingly prevalent. In this context, the question of how to determine authorship - and hence ownership - of copyright in collaborative works is an important question to which current copyright law fails to provide a coherent or consistent answer. In Copyright and Collective Authorship, Daniela Simone engages with the problem of how to determine the authorship of highly collaborative works. Employing insights from the ways in which collaborators understand and regulate issues of authorship, the book argues that a recalibration of copyright law is necessary, proposing an inclusive and contextual approach to joint authorship that is true to the legal concept of authorship but is also more aligned with creative reality.

Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia, is built by a community - a community of Wikipedians who are expected to "assume good faith" when interacting with one another. In Good Faith Collaboration, Joseph Reagle examines this unique collaborative culture. Wikipedia, says Reagle, is not the first effort to create a freely shared, universal encyclopedia; its early twentieth-century ancestors include Paul Otlet's Universal Repository and H.G. Wells's proposal for a World Brain. Both these projects, like Wikipedia, were fuelled by new technology-which at the time included index cards and microfilm. What distinguishes Wikipedia from these and other more recent ventures is Wikipedia's good faith collaborative culture, as seen not only in the writing and editing of articles but also in their discussion pages and edit histories. Keeping an open perspective on both knowledge claims and other contributors, Reagle argues, creates an extraordinary collaborative potential. Wikipedia is famously an encyclopedia "anyone can edit," and Reagle examines Wikipedia's openness and several challenges to it: technical features that limit vandalism to articles; private actions to mitigate potential legal problems; and Wikipedia's own internal bureaucratization. He explores Wikipedia's process of consensus (reviewing a dispute over naming articles on television shows) and examines the way leadership and authority work in an open content community. Wikipedia's style of collaborative production has been imitated, analyzed, and satirized. Despite the social unease over its implications for individual autonomy, institutional authority, and the character (and quality) of cultural products, Wikipedia's good faith collaborative culture has brought us closer than ever to a realization of the century-old pursuit of a universal encyclopedia."--Jacket.
