Rosalind

Rosalind started in 2004 as a small networked project. A small community of interest came together and created a new vocabulary for communicating what they are and what they do. The project was hidden to ensure that the vocabulary could grow in a private space without interference or exploitation. The site has grown into world of made up words and definitions. You can even register and contribute your own terms and definitions.

This site was put together very well and its purpose is clear. Rosalind is the name of the site and they refer to it as a she. On the home page they tell you to offer terms and help Rosalind to mature. I really appreciated the story line included with the project as well as the project itself. The site allows you to view the list of definitions that people have contributed. A lot of the words people came up with were very interesting. The definitions people match with their terms almost make them seem like real words.
