Due to the undeniable importance of medicine in human life, the authors explore the level of attentiveness given to medical topics since the beginnings of Croatian lexicography and encyclopaedistics in the 16th century until today. Specific emphasis is put on the activities of the Miroslav Krleža Institute of Lexicography, as the only Croatian institution which has been systematically involved in the field of lexicography and encyclopaedistics for almost 70 years. The representation and importance of medicine have been established in three ways. Firstly, by chronologically presenting medical terms and topics in the works of Croatian lex-icography and encyclopaedistics from the 16th to the 19th century. Subsequently, by system-izing and analysing medical publications published in the 20th century, especially the ones created by the Institute. Lastly, by reviewing the presence of medical terms and topics in other Institute's publications, especially in the Croatian Encyclopaedia. The study shows that medicine has been well represented in Croatian lexicographic and encyclopaedic works, which have played a significant role in establishing Croatian medical terminology and add-ing to systematization of knowledge in the field of medicine. The authors conclude that lexi-cography and encyclopaedistics in Croatia have paid adequate attention to medical topics, as well as mirrored the interest of professional and broader community towards medicine.Dok je uloga medicine, posebice humane medicine, u životu čovjeka neupitna, autori žele ispitati koje je značenje medicini posvećeno u hrvatskoj leksikografiji i enciklopedici. Prikazan je razvoj medicinske leksikografije i enciklopedike u Hrvatskoj od začetaka u 16. stoljeću do danas, s posebnim naglaskom na djelatnost Leksikografskoga zavoda Miroslav Krleža (LZMK), kao jedine hrvatske institucije koja se sustavno bavi leksikografijom i enciklopedikom već sedamdesetak godina. Položaj i važnost medicine utvrdili su se kronološkim prikazom zastupljenosti medicinskih naziva i tema u djelima hrvatske leksikografije i enciklopedike od 16. do 19. stoljeća, sistematiziranjem i analizom medicinskih izdanja iz 20. stoljeća, posebice onih LZMK-a, te pregledom zastupljenosti medicine u ostalim izdanjima LZMK-a, s naglaskom na Hrvatsku enciklopediju. Pokazalo se da je medicina u značajnoj mjeri bila zastupljena u hrvatskim leksikografskim i enciklopedijskim djelima koja su imala važnu uloguusustavljivanju hrvatske medicinske terminologije i spoznaja iz područja medicine. Autori zaključuju da su leksikografija i enciklopedika u Hrvatskoj zadovoljavajuće pratile zanimanje stručne, ali i šire zajednice za medicinu, odnosno medicinske teme.

Enciklopedička djela čine sintezu znanja područja koje obrađuju, nerijetko i ukupnih ljudskih dosega u vremenu u kojem nastaju. Važan dio njihova koncepta čini strukturiranost sadržaja radi lakšega pronalaženja, razumijevanja i korištenja željenom informacijom. Važan element te strukturiranosti mogu činiti unificirani tablični prikazi podataka. Ovaj rad istražuje zastupljenost, način organizacije i funkcionalnost tabličnih prikaza u nizu enciklopedičkih djela, a osobito onih za koja je utvrđeno da se koriste tabličnim prikazima kao elementima strukturiranosti. Istraživanje je provedeno na svjetskim enciklopedičkim izdanjima (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Encyclopedia Americana, Chambersʼs Encyclopaedia, World Book Encyclopedia, Brockhaus Enzyklopädie, La Grande Encyclopédie, Wikipedija) te projektima hrvatske enciklopedike (Hrvatska enciklopedija, Proleksis enciklopedija i Hrvatska tehnička enciklopedija). Sadržajnom analizom enciklopedičkih projekata utvrđeni su zastupljenost i sadržaj tabličnih prikaza te različitosti i sličnosti vrsta tih prikaza i njihova sadržaja. Također, analizirane su funkcionalnosti takva oblika strukturiranoga sadržaja u mrežnim izdanjima nekih projekata. Pokazalo se kako unificirani tablični prikazi koji prate pojedine tipske članke najviše pridonose strukturiranosti enciklopedičkih djela te otvaraju nove mogućnosti za unutarnje i vanjsko povezivanje sadržaja, razvoja ontologija i sl. Evolucija tabličnih prikaza u enciklopedičkim izdanjima, od pukih prikaza usustavljenih podataka u tradicionalnim (tiskanim) izdanjima do sastavnica elemenata strukture mrežnih izdanja, otvara nove mogućnosti u razvoju enciklopedike i dovodi do promjena u pristupu izvedbi mrežnih enciklopedičkih projekata., Encyclopedic works are a synthesis of knowledge of a certain field of interest, and often of the whole human achievement at the time in which they arise. As highly informative works of a tertiary type, an important part of their concept is content structure, the purpose of which is to make them easier to understand and use. This paper explores the extent of tables, their means of organization, and their functionality in encyclopedic works. This research was conducted on well-known traditional (printed) encyclopedic works, such as the Encyclopaedia Britannica, Encyclopedia Americana, Chambers’s Encyclopaedia, World Book Encyclopedia, Brockhaus Enzyklopädie, La Grande Encyclopédie, as well as Croatian encyclopedic works: Croatian Encyclopedia, Proleksis Encyclopedia, Croatian Encyclopedia of Technology. Content analysis was conducted on tables in encyclopedic projects as important components of the structure of relevant data, providing an overview of the extent of tables and their content in selected encyclopedic works. By comparing the results of the content analysis of multiple encyclopedic works, differences, and similarities in table types and their content are shown to indicate possibilities and requisites when compiling such highly structured content. Furthermore, insight is provided into the functionalities of such structured content in online editions of some of these encyclopedic works as well as of Wikipedia as the most commonly used online encyclopaedia. The aim of this paper is to present the evolution of tables in encyclopedic works, from the mere rendering of systematized data in traditional works to tables as elements of structure in online works that can be used to develop ontologies, this, in turn, generates new possibilities in the development of encyclopedic studies and a new approach to the creation of online encyclopedic works.

Through the last couple of decades, encyclopaedias have transformed significantly, becoming digital and born-digital, full of multimedia, and today among other characteristics being well connected via hypertext and metadata. At the same time, in digital humanities an increasing emphasis is being put on mapping or geotagging archival data, with special emphasis on networking projects and international cooperation. Digital platforms are being designed for publishing, describing, presenting, searching or browsing through historical sources. Some projects take the temporal aspect further, enabling not just retrieving historical data but also offering navigation through space and time via interactive maps. Encyclopaedias joining such initiatives would allow for new ways to explore its content and connecting encyclopaedic knowledge with specific artefacts and locations so users could visit them. Some encyclopaedic projects include a similar approach to their content, but further development is needed. In this paper, authors analyse existing conditions among web-based encyclopaedic projects (such as the Brockhaus Encyclopaedia and the Slovenian biographical lexicon), the data types appropriate for geotagging, opportunities and perspectives. This paper will also explain how using geotagging enhances encyclopaedias’ characteristics. This would contribute to further encyclopaedia’s interactivity and allow for new ways for users to explore content and learn, in turn contributing to its greater usage.

Hrvatska tehnička enciklopedija – Portal hrvatske tehničke baštine važan je projekt Leksikografskoga zavoda Miroslav Krleža, koji se ostvaruje u suradnji s Hrvatskom akademijom znanosti i umjetnosti i Akademijom tehničkih znanosti Hrvatske, a trebao bi pridonijeti boljemu razumijevanju, usustavljenju znanja te pružiti platformu za istraživanje povijesti i sadašnjega stanja tehnike u Hrvatskoj. Za hrvatsku leksikografiju projekt je pak po mnogočemu inovativan, napose po tome što usporedno dolazi u tiskanom i mrežnom izdanju. Ovim se radom nastoje obrazložiti razlozi takva pristupa, osobito iz aspekta novih epistemoloških kvaliteta koje donosi, kao i razlozi drugih specifičnih konceptualnih rješenja. U radu se uvodno raspravlja o ulozi mrežnih enciklopedija kao specifične komponente znanstvene infrastrukture. Mogućnosti digitalnih medija generirale su nove epistemološke karakteristike enciklopedija pretvarajući ih u aktivne platforme za širenje i stvaranje novih znanja. Zahvaljujući njihovoj ulozi u sintezi, umrežavanju i stvaranju znanja, mrežne enciklopedije mogu se primijeniti na povijest znanosti i tehnike, u kojem je nezaobilazan slojevit, interdisciplinarni pristup. Detaljno je opisana Hrvatska tehnička enciklopedija i njezina uloga u usustavljenju znanja iz toga područja. Ta je enciklopedija poslužila i kao okvir za razvoj mrežnoga Portala hrvatske tehničke baštine, platforme za umrežavanje i dijeljenje informacija iz različitih izvora. Portal pridonosi razvoju istraživanja povijesti tehnologije, ali i revalorizaciji i održivosti nacionalne tehnološke baštine i pozicioniranju hrvatske tehnologije u globalnome kontekstu.

Online encyclopaedias and encyclopaedic portals for children and young adults serve as useful tools for acquiring knowledge. This paper presents the results of the analysis of functionalities of three online encyclopaedias for children and young adults, Britannica Kids, Q-files and KidzSearch Encyclopedia in the digital environment. A set of basic criteria for the evaluation of usability of online encyclopaedias intended for young users were established. These criteria could serve as the basis for the definition of a concept for production of online encyclopaedic works for children and young adults.

U ovom je radu istražen enciklopedijski časopis kao posebna vrsta periodične publikacije, njegov odnos prema srodnim, npr. popularnoznanstvenim časopisima te napose odnos prema enciklopedičkim djelima. Dan je prikaz četiriju povijesnih časopisa koji u svojem naslovu ili podnaslovu nose pridjevak enciklopedijski: Journal encyclopédique, Giornale enciclopedico, Magasin encyclopédique, te Isis, oder encyclopädische Zeitung, te prikaz enciklopedičkih principa karakterističnih za enciklopedijske časopise: sveobuhvatnost, ažurnost, konsolidiranost, organiziranost. Odlike enciklopedijskih časopisa potanko su istražene enciklopedičkom analizom dvaju hrvatskih primjera: Znanje i radost, te Drvo znanja. Istraživanjem je pokazano da je enciklopedijski časopis periodična publikacija koja sveobuhvatno obrađuje sva područja ljudskoga znanja, interesa i djelatnosti, objavljujući priloge koji produbljuju spoznaje o poznatim pojmovima, ali i informiraju čitatelja o najnovijim dostignućima i spoznajama. Kao osnovne razlike u odnosu na popularnoznanstvene časopise pokazali su se sveobuhvatnost i odabir tema, metodičko izlaganje te veća usmjerenost na tercijarne informacije. Uz dodatak indeksâ tema, koji mogu biti tiskani ili elektronički, svestrano pretraživi i mrežno dostupni, enciklopedijski časopisi postaju oblik referentne literature te ujedno vrstom enciklopedičkih djela., This paper researches the encyclopaedic magazine as a separate type of periodical publications, its relation to similar, e.g. popular-science magazines and especially its relation to encyclopaedic works. An analysis is made of four historical magazines that have in their titles or subtitles the adjective encyclopaedic: Journal encyclopédique, Giornale enciclopedico, Magasin encyclopédique, and Isis, eine encyclopädische Zeitschrift., as well as an analysis of encyclopaedic principles characteristic of encyclopaedic magazines: comprehensiveness, up-to-dateness, consolidarity and the level of organization. Qualities of encyclopaedic magazines are researched in detail using an encyclopaedic analysis of two Croatian examples: Znanje i radost, and Drvo znanja. The research shows that the encyclopaedic magazine is a periodical publication that comprehensively deals with all areas of human knowledge, interests and activities, publishing articles that deepen the notions of known ideas, but also inform their reader about the latest achievements and notions. Basic differences with regard to popular-science magazines are comprehensiveness and choice of themes, methodical presentation and being more oriented towards tertiary information. With a supplement of indexes that can be printed or electronic, cross-referenced and available on-line, encyclopaedic magazines are becoming a form of referential literature as well as a type of encyclopaedic work.
