The volumes in the encyclopedia summarize areas like urban planning,[4][5] public health, sustainable development and gender equality[6] to workshop planning and product development.

The frameworks are based on research on how different professionals talk about their discipline. The most important elements of each discipline or field are then represented by cards. This is similar but a meta version of pattern language introduced by the architect Christopher Alexander 1977, which is a field of describing good design practices or patterns of useful organization within a field of expertise.
