A wiki is a group of Web pages that permits the users to add or to edit contents. Also, the word wiki refers to the collaborative software used to create such a website (as for blogs). This technology, which corresponds to a simplification of the process of creating HTML pages, allows its users to exchange information or data through a collaborative dimension. Moreover, the term is named after a Hawaiian term (“Wiki” or “Wiki Wiki”) meaning “quick” or “fast”. In fact, editing a wiki page is very simple and very quick compared to an html page. In addition, sometimes it can be interpreted as the backronym for "What I know is", which describes the knowledge contribution, storage and exchange function.
