international or a vernacular language), size (few or many volumes), intent (presentation of a global or a limited range of knowledge), cultural perspective (authoritative, ideological, didactic, utilitarian), authorship (qualifications, style), readership (education level, background, interests, capabilities), and the technologies available for their production and distribution (hand-written manuscripts, small or large print runs, Internet).

A dictionary is a linguistic work that primarily focuses on an alphabetical listing of <a href="/wiki/Words" class="mw-redirect" title="Words">words</a> and their <a href="/wiki/Definitions" class="mw-redirect" title="Definitions">definitions</a>. <a href="/wiki/Synonym" title="Synonym">Synonymous</a> words and those related by the subject matter are to be found scattered around the dictionary, giving no obvious place for in-depth treatment. Thus, a dictionary typically provides limited <a href="/wiki/Information" title="Information">information</a>, <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Analysis" class="extiw" title="wikt:Analysis">analysis</a> or background for the word defined. While it may offer a definition, it may leave the reader lacking in <a href="/wiki/Understanding" title="Understanding">understanding</a> the meaning, significance or limitations of a <a href="/wiki/Term_(language)" class="mw-redirect" title="Term (language)">term</a>, and how the term relates to a broader field of knowledge. To address those needs, an encyclopedia article is typically not limited to simple definitions, and is not limited to defining an individual word, but provides a more extensive meaning for a subject or <a href="/wiki/List_of_academic_disciplines" class="mw-redirect" title="List of academic disciplines">discipline</a>. In addition to defining and listing synonymous terms for the topic, the article can treat the topic's more extensive meaning in more depth and convey the most relevant accumulated knowledge on that subject. An encyclopedia article also often includes many <a href="/wiki/Map" title="Map">maps</a> and <a href="/wiki/Illustration" title="Illustration">illustrations</a>, as well as <a href="/wiki/Bibliography" title="Bibliography">bibliography</a> and <a href="/wiki/Statistics" title="Statistics">statistics</a>.<a href="#cite_note-humanities-6">[5]</a> An encyclopedia is, theoretically, not written to convince, although one of its goals is indeed to convince its reader of its veracity. In addition, sometimes books or reading lists are compiled from a compendium of articles (either wholly or partially taken) from a specific encyclopedia. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Four_major_elements">Four major elements</h3></div> Four major elements define an encyclopedia: its subject matter, its scope, its method of organization, and its method of production: <ol><li>Encyclopedias can be general, containing articles on topics in every field (the English-language <a href="/wiki/Encyclop%C3%A6dia_Britannica" title="Encyclopædia Britannica">Encyclopædia Britannica</a> and German <a href="/wiki/Brockhaus_Enzyklop%C3%A4die" title="Brockhaus Enzyklopädie">Brockhaus</a> are well-known examples).<a href="#cite_note-what-3">[2]</a> General encyclopedias may contain guides on how to do a variety of things, as well as embedded dictionaries and <a href="/wiki/Gazetteer" title="Gazetteer">gazetteers</a>.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] There are also encyclopedias that cover a wide variety of topics from a particular cultural, ethnic, or national perspective, such as the <a href="/wiki/Great_Soviet_Encyclopedia" title="Great Soviet Encyclopedia">Great Soviet Encyclopedia</a> or <a href="/wiki/Encyclopaedia_Judaica" title="Encyclopaedia Judaica">Encyclopaedia Judaica</a>.</li> <li>Works of encyclopedic scope aim to convey the important accumulated knowledge for their subject domain, such as an encyclopedia of <a href="/wiki/Medicine" title="Medicine">medicine</a>, <a href="/wiki/Philosophy" title="Philosophy">philosophy</a> or <a href="/wiki/Law" title="Law">law</a>. Works vary in the breadth of material and the depth of discussion, depending on the <a href="/wiki/Target_audience" title="Target audience">target audience</a>.</li> <li>Some systematic methods of organization are essential to making an encyclopedia usable for reference. There have historically been two main methods of organizing printed encyclopedias: the <a href="/wiki/Alphabetical_order" title="Alphabetical order">alphabetical</a> method (consisting of several separate articles, organized in alphabetical order) and organization by <a href="/wiki/Hierarchy" title="Hierarchy">hierarchical</a> categories.<a href="#cite_note-webster-5">[4]</a> The former method is today the more common, especially for general works. The fluidity of <a href="/wiki/Electronic_media" title="Electronic media">electronic media</a>, however, allows new possibilities for multiple methods of organization of the same content. Further, electronic media offer new capabilities for search, <a href="/wiki/Subject_indexing" title="Subject indexing">indexing</a> and <a href="/wiki/Cross_reference" class="mw-redirect" title="Cross reference">cross reference</a>. The <a href="/wiki/Epigraph_(literature)" title="Epigraph (literature)">epigraph</a> from <a href="/wiki/Horace" title="Horace">Horace</a> on the title page of the 18th century Encyclopédie suggests the importance of the structure of an encyclopedia: "What grace may be added to commonplace matters by the power of order and connection."</li> <li>As modern multimedia and the information age have evolved, new methods have emerged for the collection, verification, summation, and presentation of information of all kinds. Projects such as <a href="/wiki/Everything2" title="Everything2">Everything2</a>, <a href="/wiki/Encarta" title="Encarta">Encarta</a>, <a href="/wiki/H2g2" title="H2g2">h2g2</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia" title="Wikipedia">Wikipedia</a> are examples of new forms of the encyclopedia as <a href="/wiki/Information_retrieval" title="Information retrieval">information retrieval</a> becomes simpler. The method of production for an encyclopedia historically has been supported in both for-profit and non-profit contexts, such was the case of the <a href="/wiki/Great_Soviet_Encyclopedia" title="Great Soviet Encyclopedia">Great Soviet Encyclopedia</a> mentioned above which was entirely state-sponsored, while the Britannica was supported as a for-profit institution.</li></ol> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Encyclopedic_dictionaries">Encyclopedic dictionaries</h3></div> Some works entitled "dictionaries" are similar to encyclopedias, especially those concerned with a particular field (such as the <a href="/wiki/Dictionary_of_the_Middle_Ages" title="Dictionary of the Middle Ages">Dictionary of the Middle Ages</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Dictionary_of_American_Naval_Fighting_Ships" title="Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships">Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Black%27s_Law_Dictionary" title="Black's Law Dictionary">Black's Law Dictionary</a>). The <a href="/wiki/Macquarie_Dictionary" title="Macquarie Dictionary">Macquarie Dictionary</a>, Australia's national dictionary, became an <a href="/wiki/Encyclopedic_dictionary" title="Encyclopedic dictionary">encyclopedic dictionary</a> after its first edition in recognition of the use of proper nouns in common communication, and the words derived from such proper nouns. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Differences_between_encyclopedias_and_dictionaries">Differences between encyclopedias and dictionaries</h3></div> There are some broad differences between encyclopedias and dictionaries. Most noticeably, encyclopedia articles are longer, fuller and more thorough than entries in most general-purpose dictionaries.<a href="#cite_note-DOLencyclopedia-4">[3]</a><a href="#cite_note-DOLencyclopedicdefinition-21">[20]</a> There are differences in content as well. Generally speaking, dictionaries provide <a href="/wiki/Linguistics" title="Linguistics">linguistic</a> information about words themselves, while encyclopedias focus more on the things for which those words stand.<a href="#cite_note-bejoint-7">[6]</a><a href="#cite_note-EB-8">[7]</a><a href="#cite_note-DOLei-9">[8]</a><a href="#cite_note-OHEL22-10">[9]</a> Thus, while dictionary entries are inextricably fixed to the word described, encyclopedia articles can be given a different entry name. As such, dictionary entries are not fully translatable into other languages, but encyclopedia articles can be.<a href="#cite_note-bejoint-7">[6]</a> In practice, however, the distinction is not concrete, as there is no clear-cut difference between factual, "encyclopedic" information and linguistic information such as appear in dictionaries.<a href="#cite_note-DOLei-9">[8]</a><a href="#cite_note-DOLencyclopedicdefinition-21">[20]</a><a href="#cite_note-Bejoint31-22">[21]</a> Thus encyclopedias may contain material that is also found in dictionaries, and vice versa.<a href="#cite_note-Bejoint31-22">[21]</a> In particular, dictionary entries often contain factual information about the thing named by the word.<a

During the <a href="/wiki/Renaissance" title="Renaissance">Renaissance</a>, the creation of <a href="/wiki/Printing" title="Printing">printing</a> allowed a wider diffusion of encyclopedias and every scholar could have his or her copy.

Financial, commercial, legal, and intellectual factors changed the size of encyclopedias. Middle classes had more time to read and encyclopedias helped them to learn more. Publishers wanted to increase their output so some countries like Germany started selling books missing alphabetical sections, to publish faster. Also, publishers could not afford all the resources by themselves, so multiple publishers would come together with their resources to create better encyclopedias. Later, rivalry grew, causing copyright to occur due to weak underdeveloped laws. <a href="/wiki/John_Harris_(writer)" title="John Harris (writer)">John Harris</a> is often credited with introducing the now-familiar alphabetic format in 1704 with his English Lexicon Technicum: Or, A Universal English Dictionary of Arts and Sciences: Explaining not only the Terms of Art, but the Arts Themselves – to give its full title.

The concept was very similar to Interpedia, but more in line with Stallman's <a href="/wiki/GNU" title="GNU">GNU</a> philosophy. It was not until <a href="/wiki/Nupedia" title="Nupedia">Nupedia</a> and later <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia" title="Wikipedia">Wikipedia</a> that a stable free encyclopedia project was able to be established on the Internet.
