SKYbrary

SKYbrary is a wiki created by the European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation, International Civil Aviation Organization, and the Flight Safety Foundation to create a comprehensive source of aviation safety information freely available online. It was launched [ [http://www.eurocontrol.int/corporate/gallery/content/public/docs/pdf/pressreleases/2008/080509_Skybrary.pdf EUROCONTROL Press Release] ] in May 2008 on a platform based on Mediawiki. The Flight Safety Foundation (a founding member) defines SKYbrary's goal as: capturing authorative aviation industry information and create cumulative knowledge, especially with regard to critical safety issues [ [http://www.flightsafety.org/asw/july08/asw_july08.pdf Flight Safety Foundation magazine, Aero Safety World about SKYbrary] ] .

KYbrary's way of working

SKYbrary is driven by a risk based knowledge management approach [ [http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa5362/is_200805/ai_n27900313 SKYBRARY: A WIKI FOR AVIATION SAFETY KNOWLEDGE, Knowledge Management Review, May/Jun 2008, by Kruizinga, Eelco, Blajev, Tzvetomir] ] , meaning:
# Information must be in the right place at the right time.
# Managing knowledge helps ensure that organizations have appropriate capabilities in place (linking ability to innovate and capacity planning).
# Effective management of knowledge helps organizations share best practice more effectively, avoiding duplication of effort, whatever the daily operational constraints.
