Open data at the core
Geodata from OpenStreetMap, biodiversity records from GBIF, statistics and registers from public authorities: we build on open, verifiable data rather than on proprietary black boxes.
Focus Area
Knowledge Curation
We build and publish independent knowledge portals that turn scattered open data, official sources and peer-reviewed research into verified, searchable reference works. Every statement has a place, a date and a source.
Approach
How we curate knowledge
Information on salaries, funding programmes, closed seasons or ski resorts is plentiful, but it is scattered, often outdated and hard to verify. Our portals bring it together, keep it current and make every statement traceable.
Primary sources, linked
Legal statements link to the official legal databases, figures to the issuing authority and studies to their DOI, each with the date it was last checked.
Structured as a knowledge graph
Facts are maintained once as validated, structured data and published with schema.org markup, so they stay consistent across hundreds of pages and remain machine-readable.
Editorial responsibility
Each portal names who is editorially responsible and documents its sources and methods, so readers can check how every statement came about.
