Cuba Launches Online Encyclopedia


HAVANA, Cuba, Dec 14 (acn) Cuba is launching on Tuesday its own online
encyclopedia “to create and disseminate the knowledge of all and for all,
from Cuba and with the world.”
According to Granma newspaper, EcuRed www.ecured.cu will be launched
officially on Tuesday, but it was already up and running on Monday, with
19,626 entries.
Users will be able to update entries with prior approval from EcuRed
administrators.
“Its philosophy is the accumulation and development of knowledge, with
a democratizing, not profitable objective, from a decolonizer point of
view,” the site self-defines.
Entries include Cuban personalities, geographical sites, towns and
cities, as well as scientific writings.
The site notes that discriminatory, obscene, disrespectful,
aggressive, advertising, tendentious, defamatory or pornographic materials
