I’m just cruising through the wikipedia and it’s interesting that sphere’s of academic disciplines overlap very heavily. Just using a wikiword to link between concepts (a very traditional hypertext method) leads to discipline bleed, you move into the definition of the word for another definition. The wikipedia is becoming something between a encyclopedia and a dictionary and not quite sure which it is. Also there are some highly technical descriptions of some terms.
I suppose the answer is to add more to each entry to describe the various jargon laden meanings. I also wonder if one could navigate through hypertext collections with some kind of subject specific sunglasses. Confine one’s self to a specific subject area. Mind you even that is a bit restrictive, borders between disciplines are breaking down and so they should. Cross-disciplinary bleed of concepts should be happening, just conflicting or misleading jargon is dangerous. I don’t know where I was going with this, except that I am generally impressed with the wikipedia since I last looked at it.
