As far as I can tell (through the usual goog avenues at least) there isn't a widely recognized one? But that's a pretty neat term for it so props Norivia n' who/wherever you got it from (if so).
And yeah while moving to a collective knowledge base does come with its own set of problems (see: problems w/ accuracy etc.) I think those're yeah much less of a problem than those involved in the pursuit of knowledge without the wikipedia-y kind of tool at our fingertips. Both from an efficiency standpoint (re: not being able to specialize that much) and also I suppose to some extent a gatekeeping standpoint? (Where you can learn almost infinitely more specific stuff these days without having to pay for loads of books/university courses/etc.. I mean you have had public libraries for quite some time but they pretty obviously had/have less scope/breadth and also that involved a relatively huge time investment a lot of people probably couldn't afford).
