November 18, 2010, the Hdwiki series Construction Station lecture 17th invited interactive encyclopedia "Interactive Word Sea" executive editor Zhou Hui, she will share from the traditional editing and publishing industry into the e era of personal insights.

Here are the highlights of this session.

Moderator: Everyone good, to "promote the development of the wiki industry, strengthen the exchanges between the webmaster, cooperation" for the purpose, "Hdwiki series Webmaster Training Lectures," the 17th period and we met! Oh, this issue is very honored to invite to Interactive encyclopedia Zhou Hui, Ms. Zhou, currently in the Interactive Encyclopedia as the monthly journal of Interactive Word Sea Executive editor, in the traditional publishing industry has more than 12 years of experience in the publishing industry is said to know very well, in the next time, she will share with you from the traditional editing and publishing industry into the e-era personal experience.

Zhou Hui: Excitedly do not know what to say good, network editor and traditional publishing editor These two words together, carrying too much.

Moderator: Oh, Ms. Zhou in the traditional publishing industry has a lot of rich experience, can simply summarize the previous work in the traditional publishing industry and the characteristics of the traditional publishing industry?

Zhou Hui: The characteristics of the traditional publishing industry are basically summed up in a sentence: cultural accumulation and inheritance. In fact, the process of the traditional publishing industry and the role of our encyclopedia site is very similar to the workflow. It should be said that the encyclopedia site is the use of the most advanced wiki technology, in the traditional publishing field extension. Since the book publishing from ancient times, the essence of the dissemination of content. The difference is that traditionally published media are from bamboo, silk to paper, and even optical disk storage equipment. Although the media of different stages of the history, the nature of content dissemination has not changed.

Moderator: Well, what's the reason for your transition from the traditional publishing industry to the internet industry?

Zhou Hui: I'm afraid the term transition is not appropriate for me. I belong to the first generation of Chinese netizens, from Yinghai, 263 years began to do electronic periodicals, but at that time the traditional publishing industry for me is the main business, the Internet has always been an auxiliary tool. With the development of Internet technology, I gradually discovered that the Internet has been running through the whole workflow of traditional publishing editors, from the topic planning, market research, the author's choice, manuscript editing, proofreading, and even later typesetting, printing, distribution, like most of the people in our group today, all aspects of work and life are surrounded by the network. and to the Interactive encyclopedia, I did not completely out of the traditional publishing industry, because here is also responsible for the "interactive word Sea" editor, publishing, I think the traditional publishing industry and the Internet sector will not be hostile forces, each has its own advantages.

Moderator: It should be said that from the traditional publishing industry to the Internet industry, there will certainly be a process of adaptation, how do you adapt to this change?

Zhou Hui: If there is a change, the biggest change is that my mental stress is relieved. Because in the publishing house is called "the editor", these four words looks very simple to the outside person, but to us weighs like Tarzan. Because in all editions of the management of various publications, the standards and requirements of the publishing house is the highest, you know one out of 10,000 of the pass rate, if found more than one out of 10,000 of the situation everyone can take a book to complain, or even sue for claims.

Since ancient times "black and white" as a variety of litigation allegations of evidence, and if the quality of editing and proofreading problems, directly will cause this version of the book Scrap processing, from the environmental protection point of view or from the publishing house economic interests is a great waste, so the press editor of the spirit of pressure. In contrast, network editing is much easier, because errors can be modified at any time, especially our current wiki technology is simply an excellent way to escape. The knowledge points can be sorted and sorted on the basis of continuous revision of knowledge points. Of course, there are defects, because it is too easy, so many nets are focused on the revision of the title above, especially the large portal network of the title of the party, so that the network editor itself impetuous, they edited out the article, netizens looked more impetuous.

Moderator: OK, can you give a brief description of the main work currently in the Interactive encyclopedia?

Zhou Hui: I am currently mainly in charge of the Interactive Encyclopedia of the interactive Word Sea editor, as well as the interactive encyclopedia operations, part of the office of the editor-in-chief of the work.

Moderator: The specific process and content of daily work can you talk to us?

Zhou Hui: Talk about "interactive word sea" editing work, "Interactive word Sea" is based on the interactive Encyclopedia of the three main materials: entry, article, view.

Through some neglected knowledge clues around us, some knowledge points are brought together to compile some word media forms which are suitable for modern people to read quickly.

Moderator: Maybe a lot of people are not very clear about the concept of Word media, can you explain it to us?

Zhou Hui: Word media is the use of "words" as a medium of communication, convenient content fast, accurate dissemination, specific please in the Interactive Encyclopedia page, search "word media", that word is I created, O (∩_∩) o~

Moderator: Well, before you have mentioned the impact of the network on the publishing industry, from the wiki site, how do you see the impact of digital and network on the traditional publishing industry? Can you talk about it specifically?

Zhou Hui: I personally think that the biggest impact of digital publishing and networking on the traditional publishing industry is the impact and change of reading styles.

Moderator: For example, what do you think of the recent interactive encyclopedia that launches the world's first ipad Chinese encyclopedia application?

Zhou Hui: This is an updated way of reading, and also the "wiki reading" that our interactive encyclopedia pioneered. In the traditional website you can see the link in the article, but those keyword links are going to another article, distract your thoughts, even interrupted, affecting people's focus on reading. But we interact with Wikipedia now, and the links in all the articles and entries are within the chain, and are the exact search within the chain. If you don't understand the word, use the mouse to move to the linked word, and you can immediately see a summary of the term.

No need to search, you can help you understand the meaning of this article, not the last few months we launched the "wiki", home can see the original dream of red mansions by our netizens moved to the Interactive encyclopedia.

Moderator: Well, the following may be a lot of webmaster concerns, that is, Wikipedia's Web site how better to combine with the traditional publishing industry? What do you think of it?

Zhou Hui: Wikipedia sites can be used as the author of the traditional publishing industry or the form of accurate editor, for in the age of knowledge explosion, it is not easy to want to appear the generalists of the past dynasties. Knowledge explosion, and there is a network, we do not have to remember a large number of points. But we can use wiki technology to make more personalized knowledge of the carding, so can replace the position of some knowledge-conducting authors.

Moderator: Perhaps for the general webmaster, they do not understand the whole traditional publishing industry, and do not know how to deal with the traditional publishing industry, so it is difficult like the interactive encyclopedia to publish the "interactive word of the sea" such a publication, do you have any good suggestions?

Zhou Hui: We will focus on supporting some webmaster next year, through personalized knowledge points of carding, to give some of the opportunity to connect with the traditional publishing industry. Interactive Encyclopedia is a big platform, we are not only the world's largest encyclopedia site, at the same time we are the world's largest Chinese knowledge media. As far as I know, quite a few of our netizens are editors of the traditional publishing industry, including books, periodicals, newspapers and editors of the website, so we will provide a platform to maximize the benefits of knowledge.

Moderator: Well, if some of the sites themselves have a very good encyclopedia content, want to contact local publishers and publishing some similar "interactive word sea" Such a publication, you will give them some advice?

Zhou Hui: Can use similar to our interactive encyclopedia homepage cold knowledge, sharp Word newspaper form, to a single article submission form, slowly oneself to do the knowledge point to do thoroughly, summed into a book, this cycle will be more than the current book company full-time writers Save book speed, of course, from the perspective of everyone responsible, do not recommend the use of Wiki technology to save books. , I hope you will develop your hobbies to the extreme. Do not make too many cultural fast food, only have the practical value of knowledge points to facilitate traditional publishing into commercialization.

Moderator: OK, my last question, what kind of advice can I give to editors and web editors in the traditional industry? Can you talk about it from an angle of career planning?

Zhou Hui: I hope you do not too impetuous, to their own edited every word irresponsible is not responsible for their future. Because editing is a job that takes a long time to accumulate, if you want to get older and more valuable, be sure to give yourself enough chance to precipitate. We say "The word is like a person", in fact, "Wen" also like the person, the "book" is also like the person. It's easy to be an editor, and it's not easy to be a conscientious editor. Need everyone to withstand loneliness, and knowledge is very lonely.

In addition, since we have chosen the encyclopedia, it means that you and we are both people who love knowledge and who are willing to spread knowledge. Hdwiki is the world's largest Chinese encyclopedia Web site-Interactive encyclopedia developed for Chinese users of the Open source Encyclopedia building site System. In order to better promote the development of small and medium-sized encyclopedia website, strengthen the communication between the encyclopedia webmaster and Learning, Interactive encyclopedia Hdwiki Webmaster Group Special held "Hdwiki Series Webmaster Training Course", the course will revolve around "encyclopedia website operations, profitability, products and technology" and other topics.
