SaltWiki
A Specialized Wiki with Repository on Salt Damage to Cultural
    heritage

SaltWiki, an Internet-based, editorially-managed information
structure and a new tool for knowledge transfer and research,
provides information on salts and damage to cultural heritage caused
by salts.

A year after the German version was released
<URL:http://www.salzwiki.de>, the English version
<URL:http://www.saltwiki.net> has been put online initially for
authors only.

SaltWiki consists of two areas:

    *   The actual Wiki on the subject of "damage caused by salts"
        which is available to all: debates on the subject take place
        through its discussion pages, offering readers the
        opportunity to comment on content and thus contribute to a
        continuous improvement.

    *   A repository (the same for the German and English version)
        as data storage for the purposes of research and
        instruction. Here authors can find, for example, analysis
        data, physical and chemical constants, and also graphics,
        photos, short videos and published and unpublished
        literature. In addition, the repository is used as a virtual
        research environment on the subject of "salt damage to
        cultural heritage" and supports a sustainable preservation
        of scientific data and allows re-use.

Since February 2009, support from the German Research Foundation
(DFG) has made it possible for this to be carried out at the
Hornemann Institute of the HAWK (University of Applied Sciences and
Arts) in Hildesheim, Germany.

All those interested in research and practice are invited to take
part and become author. You may contact us at
