Vikidia as a universal multilingual online encyclopedia for children

Abstract

The article informs the community of Ukraine about the children’s universal multilingual online encyclopedia titled Vikidia and draw attention to the fact that it lacks a Ukrainian-language section. We emphasize the Ukrainian children’s audience does not yet have a high-quality digital encyclopedia and, obviously, Vikidia could fill this gap. At the same time, it is important that Ukrainian children’s encyclopedias or the Ukrainian-language segments of international projects such as Vikidia provide contents aimed specifically at Ukrainian children (currently, the vast majority of published in Ukraine children’s encyclopedias is a kind of translated literature).
