Wiki

The first wiki was created in 1995 for the Portland Pattern Repository and is known to be the simplest online database that could possibly work. Wiki is an open editing database allowing any user to add and update information, create new pages, etc. all over the Internet. The community then decideds what information is good or what information is bad. Great examples of a wiki's at work are: Wikipedia, Wikibooks, and Encyclopedia of Life (EOL).
