    Abu-Ghazaleh: TAGEPEDIA 1,2 Million Articles Now, Two Millions by the Year End

    AMMAN – HE Dr. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh announced that the Arabic content of “Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Digital Encyclopedia” (TAGEPEDIA), one of the projects of Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Organization (TAG-Org), exceeded one million and 200 thousand entries, adding that the content will reach up to two million entries by the end of the current year.
     
    Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh stated that the launch of TAGEPEDIA will contribute to improve  the ranking of the Arabic language on the Internet to be one of the Top Four instead of No. 13.

    Meanwhile, TAGEPEDIA management welcomes any useful additional entries to its website: info@tagepedia.org  whose engine was developed by experts of the Electronic Solutions Department at Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Information Technology International.
     
    Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh stressed that TAGEPEDIA aims at spreading knowledge and providing digital needed sources in all fields of sciences, by establishing a scientific foundation for knowledge exchange, in addition, it grants the users ability to edit, discuss, and add  information, while maintaining all the rights of the original author and other related rights Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh also affirmed that the digital content of TAGEPEDIA is documented, reviewed, and useful and it does not offend any party, religion, or culture, thus, it is totally different from the Arabic content on Wikipedia in terms of quantity and quality; Wikipedia contains about 600 thousand entries only.
     
    In addition, TAGEPEDIA aims at providing effective access to knowledge in all fields of research and knowledge, as it is designed according to the scientific classification of knowledge categories based upon which the user can add information. Moreover, the encyclopedia aims at establishing a database with the freedom of access to browse a wide and various categories of information in all aspects of human sciences, while maintaining the highest criteria of quality, integrity, and accuracy. It also grants the readers and users the opportunity of enhancing the content by adding information to the encyclopedia without affecting the rights of the original author, while abiding by principles of documentation and explicit reference to its sources.

    TAGEPEDIA Manager, Mr. Tawfik Nabil Talhouni, stated that a team of researchers, academics, experts and linguists are working on enriching the content of TAGEPEDIA, and providing it with a huge quantity of documented information and knowledge for Arabic speaking people in all scientific, cultural, and cognitive fields, especially in business, professional services, intellectual property, accounting, financial management, administrative consultations, translation, law, banking, professional training, information technology consultations among others. The Encyclopedia is classified into four main categories: General Knowledge, Celebrities, On This Day in History, and World Regions.

    “TAGEPEDIA” has an advantage over Wikipedia as it contains high-quality data, which is documented and checked by experts and specialists. Although it is available for use by all, any additions to it are subject to revision and authorization by a competent committee, as it is a cognitive and scientific reference and not a free Wikipedia that anyone can edit without verification. Therefore, TAGEPEDIA is unique for its great credibility and usefulness of all its contents.
