thumb The is one of Japan's two major encyclopedias, the other being the ''Encyclopedia Nipponica''. The ''World Encyclopedia'' is widely held to be the most complete and up-to-date encyclopedia in the Japanese language. ==Formats== The Heibonsha ''World Encyclopedia'' currently exists in three slightly different editions: *the ''World Encyclopedia'', originally published in 1988 and based on the ''Heibonsha Encyclopedia (Heibonsha Dai-hyakka Jiten)'' published in 1984–1985 *the ''World Encyclopedia'' on DVD *the Internet-only ''Netto de Hyakka'' (ネットで百科), which was started in 1999 The 1984–1985 ''Heibonsha Encyclopedia'' was published in sixteen volumes, while the 1988 ''World Encyclopedia'' had thirty-five volumes. The content changed very little between these two editions, but the latter version was published on heavier paper and included several additional indexes and supplementary volumes. The ''Heibonsha Encyclopedia'' is no longer being published in a print edition, and is instead being produced in the above-mentioned DVD and Internet formats. A reduced version of this encyclopedia is also available in numerous Japanese electronic dictionaries, and modified access to ''Netto de Hyakka'' is available using Japanese cell phones. The content differs only slightly between the various formats. ''Netto de Hyakka'' is constantly updated and therefore provides the most current information, but the majority of articles have not been significantly altered from the text edition. The Internet format is text-only and does not include the images that are present in the text and DVD version. The current version of ''Netto de hyakka'' (ネットで百科＠Home) is called the ''Network Encyclopedia'' in English, and is provided by Hitachi Systems and Services. Heibonsha no longer provides support for electronic versions of the ''World Encyclopedia''. 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「Heibonsha World Encyclopedia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
