Virtual organizations continuously gain popularity because of the benefits created by them. Generally, they are defined as temporal adhocracies, project oriented, knowledge-based network organizations. The goal of this paper is to present the hypothesis that knowledge system developed by virtual organization is an autopoietic system. The term "autopoiesis" was introduced by Maturana for self-productive systems. In this paper, Wikipedia is described as an example of an autopoietic system.
