What is CIPedia©?
CIPedia© - A service of CIPRNet
CIPedia©, as described in the CIPRNet’s Work Programme, is a Wikipedia-like online community service focusing on Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) and Resilience (CIR)-related issues, provided by the EU FP7 project CIPRNet. Starting from the CIPRNet Work Programme, CIPedia© is one of the components of the CIPRNet’s VCCC (Virtual Centre of Competence and expertise in CIP) web portal, to be hosted on the web server of the CIPRNet project. It is a multinational, multidisciplinary and cross-sectoral web collaboration tool for CIP-related stakeholders, including policy-makers, competent authorities, CI operators and owners, manufacturers, CIP-related facilities and laboratories, and the public at large. It gathers information from various CIP-related sources and combines them in order to collect and present knowledge on the CIP knowledge domain. It is dynamic, as it allows stakeholders to update information as the domain evolves and new concepts emerge or receive different meaning.
CIPedia© now welcomes CIP stakeholders to actively contribute:
- * Use it and add a link towards us: www.cipedia.eu!
- * Send us feedback!
- * Add a definition, a conference, a reference or a new page!
- * Start a discussion!
- * Volunteer to moderate!
- * Spread the word!

Aim: A multi-disciplinary glossary for the CIP and CIR communities
CIPedia© aims to establish itself as a – much needed but, up to the advent of CIPedia©, missing – common reference point for CIP and CIR concepts and definitions. CIP and CIR terminology varies significantly due to contextual or sectoral differences, which, combined with the lack of standardisation, create an unclear landscape of concepts and terms. CIPedia© will not aim at solving such conflicts. On the contrary, CIPedia© tries to serve as a point of disambiguation where various meanings and definitions are listed, guiding the reader to seek additional information to the relevant sources. CIPedia© should not attempt to decide upon a common definition, as this should be a process achieved collectively by the CIP community. CIPedia© is a collaboration platform that may facilitate efforts towards such a direction, but it will not act as a moderator on terminology discussion.
Roadmap
In its initial stages of development, CIPedia© may resemble to a glossary, which means it will be a collection of articles – one article per concept with key definitions – but it aims to expand more and include discussions on each concept, links to useful information, important references, disambiguation notes, etc. Just like Wikipedia, articles should begin with an appropriate definition or possible two or more rival definitions, but they should provide other types of information about that topic as well. The full articles will eventually grow into a form very different from dictionary entries. Moreover, if two concepts are used in a similar way, they can be merged into one page and a discussion on their use can follow. CIPedia© will not try to reach consensus about which term or which definition is optimum, but it will record any differences in opinion or approach.
What is CIPRNet?
The Critical Infrastructure Preparedness and Resilience Research Network or CIPRNet establishes a Network of Excellence in Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP). The CIPRNet consortium performs research and development that addresses a wide range of stakeholders including (multi)national emergency management, critical infrastructure operators, policy makers, and the society. By integrating resources of the CIPRNet partners acquired in more than 60 EU co-funded research projects, CIPRNet will create new advanced capabilities for its stakeholders. A key technology for the new capabilities will be modelling, simulation and analysis for CIP. CIPRNet builds a long-lasting virtual centre of shared and integrated knowledge and expertise in CIP. This virtual centre shall provide durable support from research to end users. It will form the foundation for the European Infrastructures Simulation & Analysis Centre (EISAC) by 2020.
CIPRNet's services
CIPRNet's website offers services to the CIP multi-community. The current set comprises CIPedia©, an online-glossary for CIP terms plus a CIP Conference List and other CI Sector Glossaries, a searchable database of CIP related projects, a CIP bibliography, and more.
CIPRNet target audiences
- Emergency managers from civil protection agencies
- Decision makers in local, regional, and national crisis management
- Emergency managers from CI operators
- Other stakeholders: Policy makers and governments, CIP-related facilities and laboratories, and the public at large
