A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
The Specialised Information Service BAUdigital is being set up since September 1, 2020 by Braunschweig University Library, Darmstadt University and State Library, TIB-Leibniz Information Center for Technology and Natural Sciences and University Library and Fraunhofer Information Center for Space and Building IRB as a joint information, networking, research and data exchange platform for the disciplines of civil engineering, architecture and urbanism (urban planning).
The disciplines mentioned generate research results in the form of heterogeneous data to an unprecedented extent. "Born-digital" data is supplemented by retro-digitized data from archives and collections. The reuse of the aggregated data enables completely new planning and research approaches in the building industry, but also requires new tools for research and networking.
Current tasks of the FID BAUdigital are:
