Den Store Danske Encyklopædi

The work comprises 115,000 articles, ranging in size from single-line cross references to the 130-page entry on Denmark.

The project was inspired by the almost contemporary Swedish Nationalencyklopedin; it received financial support from the Augustinus Foundation and was backed by a governmental inflation guarantee on pre-paid subscriptions.

In January 2006, it was announced that a full online edition of the encyclopedia was expected to be available in later 2006 on a subscription basis, with the help of a renewed grant from the Augustinus Foundation.

In March 2008, the publishing house announced that it failed to get sufficient numbers of subscribers and declared the project a failure.

[6] The vision is that the online version will be the Dane's preferred choice for updated and trustworthy information, maintaining the status of a traditional encyclopedia.
