Taiwanese academics debate the credibility of information on Wikipedia. Some critique its utility for education while others appraise the value of a “wiki” model. Associate professor S. T. Huang of the National Pingtung University of Science and Technology says they have been using the wiki model to accumulate and preserve “disappearing local knowledge”. Researchers at Academic Sinica have also been inspired by the wiki model, and are in the process of compiling the Taiwanese edition of the Encyclopedia of Life (EOL, 生命大百科), in which they aim “to include information on at least 80 percent of species that can only be found in Taiwan.” You can read more about this in the Taipei Times.
