Abstract
We reconsider the encyclopedic concept as a knowledge medium for the scientific community in the Internet. Referring to the ancient concept of encyclopedia, we reconstruct the encyclopedia for the new interactive carrier of information as a knowledge medium, representing and organizing knowledge for the scientific community anew on Internet. We envision thoseknowledge media as communication spheres for agents and exemplify them with the performance of the NetAcademy project.
