Contemporary encyclopedic projects are a continuation of a multi-century evolution of encyclopedic work. The first generations of digital (electronic) encyclopedias brought a significant shift in the practicality of their use and enriched them with multimedia and hypertext. Contemporary encyclopedic projects are a step further and contribute new epistemological values as opposed to traditional and digital editions. This paper presents this added epistemological value through the example of a few modern projects, and provides a contribution to detection and systematization of the newly created values.
Dok je uloga medicine, posebice humane medicine, u životu čovjeka neupitna, autori žele ispitati koje je značenje medicini posvećeno u hrvatskoj leksikografiji i enciklopedici. Prikazan je razvoj medicinske leksikografije i enciklopedike u Hrvatskoj od začetaka u 16. stoljeću do danas, s posebnim naglaskom na djelatnost Leksikografskoga zavoda Miroslav Krleža (LZMK), kao jedine hrvatske institucije koja se sustavno bavi leksikografijom i enciklopedikom već sedamdesetak godina. Položaj i važnost medicine utvrdili su se kronološkim prikazom zastupljenosti medicinskih naziva i tema u djelima hrvatske leksikografije i enciklopedike od 16. do 19. stoljeća, sistematiziranjem i analizom medicinskih izdanja iz 20. stoljeća, posebice onih LZMK-a, te pregledom zastupljenosti medicine u ostalim izdanjima LZMK-a, s naglaskom na Hrvatsku enciklopediju. Pokazalo se da je medicina u značajnoj mjeri bila zastupljena u hrvatskim leksikografskim i enciklopedijskim djelima koja su imala važnu ulogu u usustavljivanju hrvatske medicinske terminologije i spoznaja iz područja medicine. Autori zaključuju da su leksikografija i enciklopedika u Hrvatskoj zadovoljavajuće pratile zanimanje stručne, ali i šire zajednice za medicinu, odnosno medicinske teme.

Through the last couple of decades, encyclopaedias have transformed significantly, becoming digital and born-digital, full of multimedia, and today among other characteristics being well connected via hypertext and metadata. At the same time, in digital humanities an increasing emphasis is being put on mapping or geotagging archival data, with special emphasis on networking projects and international cooperation. Digital platforms are being designed for publishing, describing, presenting, searching or browsing through historical sources. Some projects take the temporal aspect further, enabling not just retrieving historical data but also offering navigation through space and time via interactive maps. Encyclopaedias joining such initiatives would allow for new ways to explore its content and connecting encyclopaedic knowledge with specific artefacts and locations so users could visit them. Some encyclopaedic projects include a similar approach to their content, but further development is needed. In this paper, authors analyse existing conditions among web-based encyclopaedic projects (such as the Brockhaus Encyclopaedia and the Slovenian biographical lexicon), the data types appropriate for geotagging, opportunities and perspectives. This paper will also explain how using geotagging enhances encyclopaedias' characteristics. This would contribute to further encyclopaedia's interactivity and allow for new ways for users to explore content and learn, in turn contributing to its greater usage.
