- Encyclopaedia is a reference work or compendium providing summaries of knowledge either from all branches or from a particular field or discipline.
- Encyclopedias are divided into articles or entries that are often arranged alphabetically by article name and sometimes by thematic categories. Encyclopedia entries are longer and more detailed than those in most dictionaries.
- Encyclopedia articles focus on factual information concerning the subject named in the article's title.
- Encyclopedias have existed for around 2,000 years and have evolved considerably during that time as regards to language, size, intent, cultural perspective, authorship, readership and the technologies available for their production and distribution.
