→Semantic Approach
==Semantic Approach==
This encyclopedia uses the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_wiki semantic approach] implemented via [https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Introduction_to_Semantic_MediaWiki Semantic MediaWiki] framework: the author's authors don't write their articles in a purely ''textual'' fashion (as is the case in most encyclopedias), but are asked to enter the relevant ''data'' in a structured, semantically meaningful way. Thus, once entered in specially designed forms, the data is stored in the database of this encyclopedia and is then automatically retrieved on any other relevant page.
For instance, a ''theory's'' page allows the authors to enter the dates when the theory was accepted by different communities. Once this acceptance record is entered, it is stored in the database and is then shown automatically on the respective ''topic's'' page. Consider, for instance, the history section of the topic [[Mechanism of Method Employment]]; this section is generated automatically based on the individual acceptance records of the respective theories that attempt to answer the question of method employment, such as [[The Third Law (Barseghyan-2015)]] or [[The Third Law (Sebastien-2016)]]. This makes it possible to trace the acceptance history of any theory or topic, keep track of the suggested modifications, etc.
