The Business of Making an Encyclopedia and the Impact of Digitization: The Example of the Encyclopædia Iranica (Conference Paper/Presentation)
Title: The Business of Making an Encyclopedia and the Impact of Digitization: The Example of the Encyclopædia Iranica
Author: Dagmar A. Riedel
Abstract: The fundamental challenge posed by the digital environment is how a small academic nonprofit publication can keep on top of it while preserving a modicum of academic standards. As a free online encyclopedia that depends on private and federal grants, the Encyclopædia Iranica database must proactively attract visitors to its website. In the near future it is imperative that the project addresses two issues. The first is that the development of the digital database must reflect how search engines of different browsers crawl the web in the search of information, for in the end every search engine can only find that which has been coded and indexed for discovery. The other issue concerns the internal organization of the database.
