International Encyclopedia of Systems and Cybernetics

The International Encyclopedia of Systems and Cybernetics, edited by Charles François and hosted in glossaLAB, stands as the most comprehensive and authoritative reference work in the fields of systems science and cybernetics. Building upon the foundations of his earlier 1991 dictionary in Spanish (Diccionario de teoría general de sistemas y cibernética), this monumental work expanded the conceptual framework to a global scale, integrating close to 4 thousands entries from diverse disciplines to provide a unified language for the study of complexity and interdisciplinarity.

Revitalising the Encyclopedia in glossaLAB: accessibility, semantics, co-creation and conceptual networks

The integration of this encyclopedia into the glossaLAB platform aims to democratize access to this fundamental knowledge, transforming it into a dynamic, collaborative resource open to further growth. By implementing semantic markup, the project facilitates the articulation of terms within a broader network of knowledge, serving as a proxy for analyzing the underlying system of science. Furthermore, the platform enhances readability and navigation through digital formats designed to help users traverse the intricate conceptual web of systems thinking.
