WissKi project for scientific collaboration and data sharing

As part of my CLAROS-related activity, I've been taking a poke around the WissKi project (http://www.wiss-ki.eu/), which is a German-funded, Drupal-based collaboration platform for scientific research and data sharing, and which also uses CIDOC-CRM as a base ontology.

Generally, this looks like an interesting project and I wonder if we shouldn't be looking to establish links with other data management work in Oxford and beyond. I have been asked to attend a WissKi meeting in September, so it will be interesting to see what common themes we can find.

Among other things, they have assembled a couple of useful ontology-related lists:

• Name authorities: http://www.wiss-ki.eu/techwatch/name-authorities
• Metadata standards: http://www.wiss-ki.eu/techwatch/metadata-standards
