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

==SKYbrary's way of working==
SKYbrary is driven by a [[Risk management|risk based]] knowledge management approach,<ref>{{cite journal |url=http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa5362/is_200805/ai_n27900313 |title=SKYBRARY: A WIKI FOR AVIATION SAFETY KNOWLEDGE |journal=Knowledge Management Review |date=May–June 2008 |last1=Kruizinga |first1=Eelco |last2=Blajev |first2=Tzvetomir |volume=11 |issue=2 |pages=18–23 |issn=1369-7633}}</ref> 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.

SKYbrary's Management and Quality Assurance process is described in detail on Skybrary Content Management.<ref>{{Cite web|url= http://www.skybrary.aero/index.php/Skybrary_Content_Management|title= Skybrary Content Management|publisher= SKYbrary}}</ref>

SKYbrary uses the [[Semantic MediaWiki]] extension to annotate [[Semantic Web|semantic data]] within articles.
