The future of knowledge

We aim to kick-start the next revolution in scientific publishing and knowledge sharing. Using our core technology, nanopublications, we want to achieve our vision for the knowledge space: To make using research results radically more efficient and effective. Our work is guided by openness and freedom to operate.

Nanopublications

Nanopublications are a format consisting of tiny snippets of information about any topic whatsoever that is encoded in a way that computers can understand and humans can easily create. Nanopublications allow researchers to access the findings of their fields with their relevant contexts as a connected global knowledge graph. For more information, see https://nanopub.net.

Our services, ready for you

We provide cutting-edge managed services to browse, publish, and query the global knowledge graph made of nanopublications. We have user-friendly UIs for humans, as well as powerful APIs for machines. They all connect to an ecosystem that is fully open, semantic, decentralized, and aligned with the FAIR principles.

For academic publishers

We work with innovative publishers who want to make it easier to share scientific knowledge and increase author engagement with their journals. Many of them are also exploring new approaches to the digital transformation, automation, and implementing the FAIR principles. If these are things you’re looking for, check out Nanodash – we designed it to specifically cater those needs.

For GLAM

We also work with galleries, libraries, archives, and museums (GLAM) that want people around the world to contribute to the knowledge about their collections. Watch this space, as we will soon be sharing news about our collaboration with the Colonial Collections Consortium Datahub, which will be used by academic researchers and citizen scientists.

We will soon have more to tell you about. Please subscribe if you would like to receive notifications.
