We reconsider the encyclopedic concept as a knowledge medium for the scientific community in the Internet. Referring to the ancient concept of encyclopedia, we reconstruct the encyclopedia for the new interactive carrier of information as a knowledge medium, representing and organizing knowledge for the scientific community anew on Internet. We envision thoseknowledge media as communication spheres for agents and exemplify them with the performance of the NetAcademy project.

Traditional media have concepts to ensure quality of information they carry, while new media make information ubiquitious. The NetAcademy project constitutes a new medium for knowledge accumulation and dissemination for scientifc purposes. It provides by its underlying carrier, the Internet, access to information and by its management concepts quality of information.We explore the NetAcademy with its open, distributed architecture, theNetAcademyNet and discuss, how such a medium as the NetAcademy will influence the process of publishing and scientific work.
