| Summary: | The history of the first edition of the 'Oxford English Dictionary' can be used as an example of a successful academic-public collaboration. The difficulties and eventual success of the OED are instructive for current academic crowd-sourced projects that are being undertaken with tools developed for the World Wide Web. The success of such projects depends more on the effective management of the project than on the tools it uses. L’histoire de la première édition de 'l’Oxford English Dictionary' peut être utilisée comme exemple d’une collaboration réussie entre les universitaires et le public. Les difficultés et le succès éventuel de l’OED sont instructifs pour les projets académiques actuels d’externalisation ouverte qui sont entrepris avec des outils mis en œuvre pour le W3. Le succès de ces projets dépend plus de la gestion efficace du projet que des outils auxquels il fait appel. |
