25 Structured memory in terms of CIDOC-CRM Ontologies describe not only results of scientific activities such as a description of a biological species. Beside that they clarify the path by which the goal was reached. Ontologies as knowledge representation tools will therefore have strong impact on methodological questions and research behaviour for different domains such as biology, archaeology, art history, socioeconomy etc. In this sense they can be regarded as a semantic glue between and within scientific and scholarly domains.

26 Summary Machine-supported semantic information integration has a huge potential. Large inconsistencies (about 25%) had been found in the information content and handling within systems of the same domain but with a different focus. Information integration therefore leads to an improved quality of biodiversity core data. Similar problems are expected in all disciplines, where information is transferred manually between systems, such as in archaeology from field observation to museum collections, etc. Transdisciplinary information integration also leads to new knowledge and understanding of the relationships between nature and culture.
