Abstract
While Aerospace engineering can benefit greatly from collaborative knowledge management, its infrastructure is still fragmented. Bridging this divide is essential to reduce the current practice of redundant work and to address the challenges posed by the rapidly growing volume of aviation data. This study presents an accessible platform, built on Wikibase, to enable collaborative sharing and curation of aerospace engineering knowledge, initially populated with data from a recent systematic literature review. As a solid foundation, the Aerospace.Wikibase provides over 700 terms related to processes, software and data, openly available for future extension. Linking project-specific concepts to persistent, independent infrastructure enables aerospace engineers to collaborate on universal knowledge without risking the appropriation of project information, thereby promoting sustainable…
