CIPedia:About
CIPedia©, as described in the CIPRNet’s Work Programme, is a Wikipedia-like online community servicefocusing on Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) and Resilience-related issues, provided by the EU FP7 project CIPRNet.
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 information sharing on Critical Infrastructure (CI)-related matters. It promotes communication between CIP-related stakeholders, including policy-makers, competent authorities, CI operators and owners, manufacturers, CIP-related facilities and laboratories, and the public at large. The CIPedia© service aims to establish itself as a – much needed but up to the advent of CIPedia© missing – common reference point for CIP concepts and definitions. 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.
