| The Africa Multiple Cluster of Excellence is based in the University of Bayreuth aiming at reconfiguring African Studies in multiple disciplines. Apart from its headquarters at the University of Bayreuth the Cluster of Excellence conducts its work in four interlinked African Cluster Centres in Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Kenya and South Africa. |
| The German Research Foundation (DFG) funded WissKI from 2008 to 2012 and from 2014 to 2017 and ensured a continuously development. This is one reason for WissKIs stable and elaborated state. |
| Founded in 1743, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) is now one of the largest research universities in Germany with 38,299 students. The five faculties cover the entire spectrum of modern academic disciplines – from humanities, social sciences and theology to medicine, law, economics, sciences and engineering. The FAU Erlangen, especially the Competence Center for Research Data and Information (CDI) is still one of the main developing institutions of the WissKI software. |
| The Germanisches Nationalmuseum is the largest museum of cultural history in the German-speaking region. Setting nation-wide standards through its scientific and scholarly achievements, it carries the reputation of a dependable reference point in the museum landscape. The museum started the WissKI development in 2008 in a cooperation with the Zoological Research-Museum Koenig in Bonn (ZFMK) and the Friedrich-Alexander University in Erlangen (FAU). The GNM is the main developing institution and mantainers of WissKI. |
| The Minimal Record Working Group was initiated in 2022 by the Museum and Media Desk of the German Digital Library (DDB), the Digitization Working Group of the Museum Advisory Bodies in Germany and digiS Berlin. Members of the Working Group are representatives of the Institute for Museum Research, the Documentation Section of the German Museums Association (DMB), the Coordination Centre for Scientific University Collections in Germany, digiCULT-Verbund eG, museum-digital Deutschland e. V., NFDI4Culture, NFDI4Memory, NFDI4Objects, the Natural History Museum in Berlin and the Overseas Museum in Bremen. |
| The Museum Koenig Bonn, formerly Zoological Research Museum Alexander Koenig (German: Zoologisches Forschungsmuseum Alexander Koenig, abbreviated ZFMK), is a natural history museum and zoological research institution in Bonn, Germany. The museum is named after Alexander Koenig, who donated his collection of specimens to the institution. The museum was opened in 1934 and forms, since 2001, the Leibniz Institute for the Analysis of Biodiversity Change, abbreviated LIB, together with the Museum of Nature Hamburg. The LIB is affiliated with the Leibniz Association. The Museum Koenig is one of the main developing institutions of the WissKI software. |
| NFDI4Culture is a consortium within the Nationale Forschungsdateninfrastruktur (NFDI) that addresses research data on tangible and intangible cultural assets. The German National Museum is funded as a participant, which has enabled a renewal of this site, an expansion and simplification of the WissKI installation possibilities, the development of a DOI API for WissKI, and a revision of the whole WissKI documentation. We were also able to realise the WissKI Cloud with funding from the NFDI4Culture Flexfund. |
| NFDI4Objects is an initiative to build a multidisciplinary consortium within the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI). The initiative is aimed at researchers and practitioners whose work focuses on the material heritage of around three million years of human and environmental history and is dedicated to the challenges of modern research data infrastructures. In the context of Task Area 6 "Qualification, Integration, Harmonisation", WissKI as research environment software is used to implement and provide the ontology and data model of the N4O-Core-Ontology. |
| As a long-standing partner, the arthistoricum.net and the Heidelberg University Library (UB Heidelberg) supports WissKI in community building and outreach tasks, provide feedback and share their solutions in ongoing WissKI projects. |
| Association for semantic data processing (IGSD e. V.) promotes semantic data networking, primarily in the field of digital humanities. Of central interest is the use of semantic technologies, linked data, open source and open access. For this purpose, the association sees itself as a community and contact partner. The non-profit association also arranges hosting, setup, maintenance and front-end design of WissKI instances. |
| Collections Objects Dataliteracy (Sammlungen Objekte Datenkompetenzen - SODa) teaches and develops the necessary and useful data skills for research in and with scientific collections in a transdisciplinary and practice-oriented way. The Data Competence Centre makes it possible to learn about, discuss and develop standards, good practices and new methods of collection-related research data management, research data analysis, evaluation and use, as well as data-based collection and object research. It promotes interdisciplinary networking, the establishment and expansion of collaborations, and is itself involved in research collaborations, standards development committees, and the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI). |
