Sabine Melnicki

I am Sabine Melnicki from Vienna in Austria. With my team at WebAhoi ↗ I build websites for companies. From concept to implementation, we help companies to be visible online and find their corporate language.

With my partners at WikiAhoi ↗ I work on challenges of knowledge management in enterprises: Finding, constructing, and sharing knowledge. Not only, but often with the help of semantic wikis, always centered around communication between people - and machines.

My talks

My work focuses on numerous facets of digitalization: communication through language and content, information architecture and data design, visual implementation in branding. Currently, my research interest is aimed at "digital autonomy", i.e. the transfer of competencies in the area of conflict between digital technologies and social conditions.

Speaker (en/de) on semantic wikis, knowledge transfer, content design, visual design, open source software, digital autonomy.
