WissKI@Sammlungen der FAU is a pilot project at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU). Its aim is to build up a common web infrastructure for the collections of the university using WissKI, a Virtual Research Environment (VRE) based on semantic technologies (RDF, OWL, CIDOC CRM). The project started in late 2013 with four collections and after Franziska Köhler leaving the project in mid 2014 there remain three collections. In mid 2014, Corina Lehmann joined the project as a student assistant.

In 2016 we launched the second phase with four additional collections.

In 2017 the BMBF-funded project Objekte im Netz started. It carries on the work and spirit of the pilot project; with additional manpower and collections. (Own site coming soon...).
