C3Grid - INAD: Towards an INfrastructure for General Access to Climate Data			Das Collaborative Climate Community Data and Processing Grid C3Grid verbindet die Datenarchive unterschiedlicher Einrichtungen der deutschen Klimacommunity. Es bietet den Wissenschaftlern eine einheitliche Sicht auf die verteilten Datenbeständen und erlaubt einen transparenten Zugriff auf die Daten unabhängig von der jeweiligen Art der Datenablage in den Archiven. C3Grid umfasst auch Rechenkapazitäten, auf denen verteilt diagnostische Workflows zur Analyse der Daten ablaufen.
Diversity Workbench – Software components for building and accessing biodiversity information			The modularized Diversity Workbench (www.diversityworkbench.net) represents a virtual research environment for multiple scientific purposes with regard to management and analysis of life sciences data. The framework is appropriate to store different kinds of bio- and geodiversity data and facilitates the processing of ecological, molecularbiological, observational, collection and taxonomic data. It is capable and flexible enough to be applied as data storage unit for institutional data [...]

Edumeres.net - Educational Media Research			Edumeres.net, the virtual network for the international educational media research provides not only access to information, publications and research, it has a user-oriented work- and research-environment as well. By this means new research questions can be developed in a collaborative way and be stored as Open-Access-Pblications in a lasting and quotable way.

Meta-Image - research environment for image discourse in the history of arts			The project Meta-Image merges already existing components to a virtual work- and research environment for the image discourse in the history of arts. Therefore it connects the digital image inventories of the compound of art historically image databases "prometheus“ and a image processing application, which is specialized in linking and enrichment of image copora. Aim of the project is the setup of an integrative cyber-infrastructure for the direct art historically research work on the image. [...]
MoveVRE (MoveBank - Virtual Research Environment)			The project MoveBank Virtual Research Environment (MoveVRE), funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) supports the in 2007 established project MoveBank (www.movebank.org) with an e-Science-infrastructure, which allows the storage, analysing, management and distribution of animal movement data. MoveVRE extends MoveBank with web-based collaborative tools of the long-term-preservation of research data as well as with definitions of data- and metadata-standards. Furthermore modern tools [...]

Publikation Umweltdaten			When will lightning strike again? Will there be tropical temperatures in this area in 50 years? What were temperatures like during the last ice age? Weather and climate researchers are trying to find answers to these questions. Their findings are based on measured data – temperature, atmospheric pressure, atmospheric humidity and much more. The more comprehensive and detailed the data, the more reliable the findings. However, the researchers lack a set standard to publish and secure the [...]

Semantic MediaWiki for Collaborative Corpora Analysis			Aim of the project "Semantic MediaWiki for Collaborative Corpora Analysis: SMW-CorA" is the development of an virtual research environment on the basis of Semantic MediaWiki (SMW) for an collaborative analysis of extensive digitalized text corpora and their generic permanent embedding into the subject-oriented community of the historical educational research. Furthermore a possible re-use of the accumulational and analytic work of the researchers as well as a long-term infrastructural [...]
studiolo communis			For the UNESCO competence center "Tangible and Intangible Cultural Heritage" a virtual working environment for the co-active collection, indexing, study and archiving of preservation-worthy cultural goods is set up. It focusses on the support of individual and cooperative forms of work as well as on possible arrangements and documentations of materials with different formats and from various sources. Audiovisual picture archives, that allow a connection of images, text and sound are not [...]
tambora.org			The aim of Tamobra.org is to create a database-supported infrastructure enabling the integration and sustainable storage of the existing data collections, as well as the entry of new data in the field of Historical Climatology. Historical Climatology is a subdomain of climatology, whose aim it is to reconstruct climatic trends on a historical scale using historical sources.

VKLandLab			Every landscape has a story, which caused the actual appearance of it. This applies as well to the cultural landscape of "Mecklenburg-Vorpommern". For this landscape information in form of maps and measured data approximately since 1786. Aim of the project "VKLandLab" is to transfer this data from its analogue into the digital form and to open it for other user grous, especially scientists. The interdisciplinary team of the university of Rostock deals with this task since July 2010 and is [...]
Wikulu - Self-Organizing Wikis			The importance of web-based collaboration systems called Wikis has grown tremendously over the last years, e.g. Wikipedia, corporate wikis. Also for virtual research environments, they are essential for sharing and archiving information. As the usability of a wiki is initially very high, the amount of content grows very fast. A common drawback of wikis is however that the usability decreases with the increased content amount. The Wikulu - Self-Organizing Wikis project at the UKP Lab employs the [...]
