Methodology and Knowledge Governance
المنهجية وسياسة التحرير
This part gathers the rules that govern the encyclopedia itself rather than its subject matter: its scope, terminology, source policy, editing, languages and reading routes. It differs from the other parts, which present knowledge about AI, in that it explains how that knowledge is built, reviewed, documented and presented to the reader.
