This page describes the differing roles of static and evolving pages in the Manifold Atlas: evolving pages provide the forum for knowledge organisation and creation in the Atlas whereas static pages are the place where refereed information is stored.

1 Evolving Pages
- The evolving pages of the Atlas are its main engine: they are the place where knowledge is organised and created.
- Evolving pages can be either open-eiting or author-based pages. An important goal of an evolving page is maturity after which is refereed and hopefully approved.
- On approval a static version of dynamic page is created as long term scientific reference.
- Evolving pages are not strongly scientifically citable but of course they can be cited in the way that authors will cite, for example, personal correspondence.
- The logs of the Manifold Atlas preserve the revisions of evolving pages:
- the revision history of a page can be viewed by clicking the link history at the top of the page
- each revision of a page has a revision number which is at the end of its URL and can be used to refer to that specific revision.
2 Static Pages
- The static pages of the Atlas realise its long-term scientific function or providing journal standard, citable reference for the study of manifolds.
- Static pages will be preserved as scientifically citable documents in the strong sense that their hard-copy text will be kept for precise reference.
- The content of static pages has been approved by the editorial board via a rigorous editorial process.
- Static pages are instantly recognisable by
- the blue approval message they carry in their header
- the suffix /nth Edition in their title.
3 What is preserved?
- As a citable scientific document, a static article should be viewed with “hard-copy vision": that is the content of this article is what you would have if you printed it out: the hyperlinks are not part of the text.
- Any attached PDF files are part of the the text and will be preserved as accompanying documents.
4 What will be up-dated?
- The administrators of the Atlas will perform appropriate up-dates of static pages which do not effect their “hard-copy form".
- This includes keeping hyperlinks active and adding new categories to the page as appropriate.
5 What can be changed?
- Just as journals typeset their articles, minor type-setting adjustments can occur to the “hard-copy view" of static pages.
