Abstract
This project report describes the approach and process of the WissKI project. The goal of this project is to develop a software system that enables scientific projects especially in memory institutions (museums, archives, libraries) to collect, store, manage, and communicate knowledge. Therefore it addresses many facets of research in a network environment like persistence of information, long-time preservation and accessibility, digital documentation standards or e-publishing. To achieve this goal we extend an open source content management framework with facilities to handle and process ontology based knowledge.
