What role, one might ask, is scientific expertise going to play here? According to Philippe Lacour, this problem is not so much going to find a <i>solution inside</i> the encyclopaedia's framework, as it is going to be resolved in an external operationalisation process, following the twofold principle of <i>clinical</i> as well as <i>critical</i> differentiation. Wikipedia's development is based on the dissembling and reassembling of knowledge and digital data, foreshadowing, undoubtedly, what will be a new form of intellectual life.</p>
