Project Summary
Knowpedia Platform Summary
Knowpedia is an online open knowledge-network, enabling people worldwide to publish knowledge of any topic in exchange for community upvotes (likes), earning rewards! This platform is multilingual and available everywhere. It is highly reliable, immutable, and fully accepting of your contributions because it’s built on the dependable Steem blockchain with a 100% uptime (as of January 2019). Knowpedia uplifts all people with the ability to share and browse the entire world’s wealth of knowledge.
Knowpedia Community Summary
Knowpedia is a community sworn to the spread of knowledge, cooperation, and creativity through the highest-quality education and networking technologies. We are grounded in our principles of scholarship, cooperation, and creativity. We use them as a guide in this project and every subproject we do. We encourage using fellow members and our greater community as a support system.
We foster a culture of constant growth, healthy relationships, and rewarding contribution. Each contributor earns their rewards in their preferred way through their brand and maintains the freedom to conduct their position to best suit their style. In doing so, we develop technologies to further the best knowledge-network possible and retain our brand. Through Knowpedia, opportunity is present, learning is embraced, creativity is desired, communication is respected, boldness is encouraged, and work is self-rewarded.
Getting Started Summary
Firstly, the simplest way to join the project is to join the project’s official Knowpedia Discord channel with this link: https://discord.gg/GCcXd7r . We have guides and a community willing to help you there. Also, you’re free to join our Telegram channel here: https://t.me/Knowpedia
Secondly, we encourage you to follow official community-wide hashtags to stay up-to-date on all things Knowpedia on any social media or platform. These hashtags include the following:
- #Knowpedia Is our main hashtag for all things Knowpedia.
- #KnowpediaNews Is our news hashtag for all Knowpedia news & announcements.
- #KnowpediaHelp Is our help hashtag for all Knowpedia help.
- (Discord is the best place to receive immediate help).
- #KnowpediaKnowledgeIsPower Is our “promote the movement” hashtag to support the Knowpedia knowledge is power movement.
Always remember the project ONLY uses hashtags on social media and therefore there is NO MAIN Knowpedia account on any platform except Discord & Telegram. Therefore, all Knowpedia related accounts on social media and other platforms are strictly community run. We are very excited to see your support in our growing community.
Every Question Answered
Whence Knowpedia Came
Our Problem
Knowpedia comes from the realization that current knowledge-sharing platforms are not good enough. They do not and cannot fulfill our day to day educational needs. An excellent educational platform such as Knowpedia needs a well-structured directory for people of all backgrounds to easily find the information they seek. When we need to know something, we must have a common and easy way to browse the collection of knowledge gathered from all of us on one convenient platform.
We have nearly achieved this with some popular social media platforms, but not one that transcends all cultures, languages, and ideologies. Although, that is because we have before failed to build our platforms together, as a community. With Project Knowpedia, we will build from the ground up a publicly available knowledge-network that outperforms out-of-date knowledge-sharing platforms and social media networks. We will keep all the good and expand far beyond it together.
Our Goal
Everyone is an expert on something. Academics to everyday people must have a common platform to share their expertise systematically. For this reason, we have created an advanced knowledge classification system and made it the platforms directory. By working together, we will implement all our concepts and ideas into a single platform that is ours. Knowpedia is the needed outlet for you and me to educate ourselves and others easily.
How Knowpedia Works
Contributing
Knowpedia is more than just an open project, but a movement formed by our community of skilled and ambitious people across all lands and oceans. We are the sum of our contributors like you including, developers & engineers who build, authors who write, readers who browse, and moderators who moderate. The community also includes our capable designers, researchers, consultants, marketers, and the list goes on. Whatever you have to contribute, can be contributed with & to Knowpedia.
Communicating
We combine all of our skills and contribute them to this project we all know will succeed with our totaled support. We use various flexible and reliable technologies to communicate, share our contributions, and grow a stable community project. We operate like a movement, a community, and a great collaborate work.
Firstly, our community submits their best ideas to our Discord. Then, we discuss and debates these ideas. Designers translate their ideas into concepts & templates. After, our development supervisors turn these concepts into instructions. Next, developers make instructions code in our GitHub repository. Lastly, our users enjoy the platform and give feedback, and the cycle continues.
An Example
One example is our use of things like hashtags across all social media to share project updates, info, and market our contributions for acceptance into the project. When a designer creates a new graphic, he will first submit it onto his preferred media outlet. There he may obtain sponsorships to reward his contributions and use Knowpedia hashtags to promote it throughout our community. If the community supports it, supervisors add it to the next platform’s update list. Afterward, our developers will review, code, and release their graphic in the next platform’s update.
Why Knowpedia Works
Our Vision
Imagine if you built a part of the largest social media network in the world. Imagine right now you found the opportunity to contribute your best skills truly. The skills you love to use to a project so much bigger than yourself and receive the independence and credit you deserve. That is what Project Knowpedia offers you. Choose whatever you know you can contribute and Do It! In return, all rewards and fame you receive are forever yours to keep.
Our Benefit
A major benefit beyond the complete freedom and independence to choose how you add to Knowpedia is the growth to your brand and portfolio. You receive all the credit, rewards, and joy for your contributions. Plus, as the project grows, your brand, skills, and portfolio grow right alongside it.
You determine how your contributions are rewarded. You may choose to publish articles or videos with advertisers & sponsors embedded in them. You may choose to post them to the Steem blockchain where your audience can upvote your content to earn you steem (cryptocurrency). You may choose to receive donations or create a patron page. You could even crowdfund a massive contribution to Knowpedia with Kickstarter or Fundition.io. You may use a platform like Utopian.io who rewards open-source contribution just for telling them about it. You may even do all of these or create a whole new rewards stream altogether. The choice is yours.
An Example
For example, when a designer submits a new graphic to add to the website, the community must approve and praise the submission as quality before engineers upload it to the website, mobile app, etc. The designer receives good publicity and another work in their portfolio. Plus, they keep all rewards and benefits the community gives them. That means 100% retention of your brand, work, and glory. Therefore, congratulations to you.
Where Knowpedia Works
Our Platform on Steem Blockchain
Knowpedia is hosted on the Steem blockchain. Steem is a blockchain-based rewards platform allowing content creators to earn rewards through up-votes (likes) by posting content. The more up-votes a single post (article, video, photo, live stream, etc.) receives from influential users, the more rewards (steem) the creator and up-voters earn. Steem blockchain includes zero transaction fees and very high scalability. Learn more at Steem.com
Our Code on GitHub
Our code is currently hosted on GitHub at https://github.com/marhalish/Knowpedia . GitHub is a platform allowing open-source (or open-development) projects to receive code contributions from anyone anywhere. Here we continually submit task requests for developers to build new and exciting features at the community's requests. We encourage all talented developers to put their talent to work and fulfill community tasks requests.
Which Knowpedia Is
Our Open Project
The Knowpedia Project is unique unto itself because it is completely built from the start by its community of users and contributors. The community is solely responsible for the platform’s direction, administration, operation, and production. The benefit is that typically networking platforms (like most today) rely on users to do the content creations, marketing, and most other aspects of its success. Therefore, Knowpedia goes further by enabling the entire community to complete all parts of the project. Meaning, with this project experienced developer’s in the community build the platform based on community suggestions along with fellow project contributors.
Our Knowledge-Network
Knowpedia is an online platform enabling users to submit highly classified entries among countless others by fellow users and view them in various ordered feeds by popularity, author, time, and more. The networking platform allows users to follow specific, knowledgeable users to stay up to date with their research and a specific subject, academic discipline, and topic. The knowledge-network also enables users to build their portfolio shown on their individual Knowpedia profile to boost their resume and improve their credibility in a specific field. Plus, users can expand their portfolio to a broader audience not reachable by past networking platforms.
An Example
Knowpedia is like combining a social media network with an online encyclopedia, then making it available to everyone to add new features and updates. Although, it is much better than that. The knowledge-network is building from the start with only the best features of social networks and encyclopedias, then spicing it up with more good features.
For example, users may follow a famous scientist and stay up-to-date as they make categorized entries over time. If the scientist studies an evolving treatment procedure, they can weekly submit entries under the “Treatment Topic Name” and users may follow the progress week by week. The same users may follow only that scientist entries or follow all entries made by a scientist under that same topic. Therefore, following the progress of any specific topic or just the works of an individual is made as easy as following your favorite celebrity on social networks. Users may do all of this while regularly building their knowledge of one or various subjects, disciplines, and topics.
Whose Knowpedia Is
Our Community
The Knowpedia community is worldwide. Remember, Project Knowpedia is a movement of skilled like-minded people with the common goal of a better-educated world through our knowledge-network.
Our Contributors
Knowpedia Is an open project founded, developed, and maintained solely by its skilled community of like-minded supporters. We join from across all societies, nations, and ethnicities to grow our education with a single platform.
Who Knowpedia Is
Our Backers
We are solely backed by our wonderful backers who contribute their time, effort, and more to make the platform a reality. We are grounded in our community of coders, designers, experts, and more who continually support the project.
Our Userbase
We are the platform built for content creators. To prove this, we cater to all content types including written, video, statistics, image, audio, diagrams and more. Knowpedia offers an easy way to categorize all your content for you and your audience. Our goal is giving creators an infinity ability to share their best works directly with the world.
What Knowpedia Is
Our Platform
Knowpedia is an online open knowledge-network, enabling people worldwide to publish knowledge of any topic in exchange for community upvotes (likes), earning rewards! It is available in all languages and usable from anywhere in the world. It’s high reliability, immutability, and accessibility is because it uses blockchain technologies like Steem blockchain. Knowpedia uplifts all people with the ability to share and browse the entire world’s wealth of knowledge.
Our Technology
We are building using technologies such as NodeJS, VueJS, Quasar Framework, Steem blockchain’s JavaScript API, and more to create the most cutting-edge online network ever. Our project is founded on the Steem blockchain. A few of our primary reasons for choosing Steem is because of its preinstalled social network like features. The blockchain by default allows users to publish content and their audience to reward them with just an upvote (like). Also, three-second confirmations make it one of the fastest blockchains available to-date. Lastly, the community is very supportive of each other making building here a joy.
Our Groundbreaking ‘Knowpedia Knowledge Classification System [K.K.C.S]’
We are incredibly proud to use and share a true cutting-edge marvel that is the Knowpedia Classification System. Through the K.K.C.S. we can classify all knowledge in an easy to follow directory and tagging system. The K.K.C.S. is a natural classification system making it far superior to any other classification to come before or after it.
As users submit Knowpedia entries, they may select any book, theme, discipline, subject, topic, etc. with just one click and Knowpedia maps their chosen choice to our systematically accurate directory. We make the selection process simple, but still, allow entries to cover every attribute of a topic.
When a creator submits a Knowpedia entry, they must only choose four tags. The first tag is selected by default, which is merely the #KnowpediaDirectory tag to map it to the KP platform on Steem blockchain. These four other tags specifically classify their entry amongst an infinite number of possible others. They include the #topic tag, #language tag, #format tag, and the #form tag.
Topic Tag
Firstly, the user selects their topic tag. The topic tag is the Steem Knowpedia hashtag that directly represents your chosen topic. For example, if you are posting a video entry about the food pizza, then your topic tag is #tp-pizza. If you are posting your entry directly through Knowpedia, the K.K.C.S. automatically enters the full classification tag for you. You only have to select the topic pizza.
Language Tag
Next, the user must choose their second tag, which is for the language. These include all languages including English, Spanish, Chinese, Hindi, Italian, German, French, Japanese, Korean, Arabic and so forth.
Format Tag
The format tag determines the type of knowledge compared to the topic. Examples include a definition, story, its function, location, traits, related people, the related time-period and dates, evidence and cases or examples, etc. We do this to enable readers to browse topic entries by exactly what they are looking for when browsing entries.
Form Tag
The form tag covers what form the entry is. Using this tag, we allow content creators to tag their content by text, video, images, audio, figures (statistics & numbers), and more. When a user searches for entries about a topic, they can find a video, audio, or whatever form of content that best fits them. The form tag is especially helpful to our sensorial disabled (blind, deaf, etc.) users who may have little use for a particular form of content.
An Example
For example, if a creator submits a Knowpedia entry about the animal cheetah, it has a very defined classification. When selecting cheetahs, the K.K.C.S. automatically classifies their entry as A2 for Science Book, B6 for Biology, C6 for Zoology, D3 for Mammals, and so on (more to come). Then the user selects their primarily used language in the entry. Next, the user selects their third tag which is the format tag. Lastly, they select the form tag to allow users to browse by videos, audio, articles, etc.. Afterwards, readers may come to Knowpedia and browse for their highly-specific entry.
