Xacopedia - Encyclopaedia 2.0
The Xacopedia represents the first definitive compilation and presentation of the special and unique heritage which only Santiago can claim, as the ancient destination of one of the most important – possibly the most important – pilgrimage routes in the world: the Way of St. James.
It does have a precedent in the Great Encyclopaedia of the Way of St. James. However, the Xacopedia goes even further, making all aspects of the culture of the Way of St. James accessible to everyone, utilizing a truly universal tool, the Internet. To this end, it acts both as a Xacopedia in the most encyclopaedic sense – a searchable list of terms – and as an interactive social network. It allows all friends of Jacobean culture to share their experience and knowledge on the subject quickly and easily, via computer or mobile device.
The search through Xacopedia is fast, simple and very intuitive
Like the Way of St. James itself, the work extends beyond the borders of Europe to anywhere the figure of St. James the Apostle and the Way of St. James have reached, including locations as remote from Santiago as Peru, New Zealand, Cape Verde, Israel and the Philippines...
Searching the Xacopedia is quick, simple and highly intuitive. It is as easy to find a specific term as it is to access more basic information, allowing it to also function as a tool for providing general knowledge on what the pilgrimage to Santiago has meant and still means today.
This information is supplemented by over two thousand photographs, graphs, illustrations and maps, making the Xacopedia the most complete and up-to-date work on the phenomenon of the pilgrimage to Santiago and every aspect of the culture of the Way of St. James throughout its history.
In any event, the best part of the Xacopedia are the contributions, both visual and text, uploaded by thousands of people of every region and nationality, supporting what it has been from the very start: a collective and interactive work which grows each day through the efforts of many.
