This OES Demo application is an exemplary and fictional online encyclopaedia created with the Open Encyclopedia System (OES) framework to provide users a first-hand experience of OES functionalities and features. OES is an open source, standardised online platform for creating, publishing and maintaining online encyclopaedias and other works of reference in the fields of the Humanities and the Social Sciences. For more information on the OES framework and current OES applications visit the Open Encyclopedia System website.

The OES Demo encyclopaedia consists of an editorial layer (WordPress Plugin) to administrate and edit content or configure OES features, a website (WordPress Theme) to display the content and an exemplary data model including sample data. The OES framework can be used to realise a customised online reference work. See About OES Demo on different ways to use the OES Demo application. 

Please note:  The sole purpose of articles on prominent works of reference (section Articles:Reference Works) and related data is to provide content for the sample encylopaedia, whereas articles in the section Articles:OES Applications  describe current applications of the OES framework.
