RiceWiki, a component of ScienceWikis, is a wiki-based, publicly editable and open-content platform for community annotation of rice genes, viz., a community-curated resource of rice knowledge. Unlike conventional biological databases based on expert curation, RiceWiki harnesses collective intelligence to collect, edit and annotate information about rice, quantifies users' contributions in each annotated gene, and provides explicit authorship for each contributor to encourage more participation from the whole scientific community.
