Paper Abstract:
|
E-voting is an election system that allows a voter to record his or her secure and secret ballot electronically. We can also
define as e-voting the process of evaluating an article or ranking a translation of a specific scientific term in a relevant
web site. This all process of participation and interaction is one of the Web 2.0 definitions, the collaborative knowledge.
An electronic (on-line) dictionary in order to succeed has to consider this factor. It has to be interactive and it has to
attract and support the users participation and contribution. Therefore, an e-voting system may confront properly these
issues. In the e-dictionary we propose here (Wiki-Dic), some experts begin a dictionary, they start filling it with words
and translations, and all users are allowed not only to look for the translation, but also to vote for it. The most voted
translations go to the top. Every minute the users may be informed for the most voted translation, as the most widely
accepted definition appears first in the row. |
