Q&A Software is online software used by users to ask and/or then answer questions. Q&A software is frequently integrated by large and specialist corporations and tends to be implemented as a community. By doing this, users in similar fields can discuss questions and provide answers to common and specialist questions. There are numerous examples of Q&A Software in both Open Source and SaaS formats, including Qhub, OSQA and Stack Exchange. Standalone Q&A communities such as Quora or Yahoo! Answers aren’t traditionally in either category while operating in the Q&A market.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://inspiredm.com/qa-websites/ )〕 ==Background== Since the Internet became increasingly popular, many Q&A sites have begun to offer a Q&A solution. Some of these sites such as Quora are provided as a community, but their software is not open to commercial use. Other examples of sites similar to this include Yahoo! Answers. The Q&A Software industry is split into two main sectors, SaaS solutions and Open Source software. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, many of which vary depending on whether the software is SaaS or Open Source. Q&A Software is often provided to corporate and specialist sites, so the site and its users can be asked questions and then provide experts answers to them. It is often the ideal place to ask a given question, when the site will be geared towards a certain industry. For example, if a user wanted to find the answer to a technology question, then a Q&A site specializing in the given tech industry would be a good place to start. Users also benefit from increased knowledge if they regularly answer questions or exchange views with other industry specialists using the website where the software has been implemented.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Q&A software」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
