About us

Philosophy

Driven by explorative and demiurgic spirit we set off in 2005 to create tools that enable knowledge sharing. As quality knowledge resources are difficult to create, locate, acquire, interpret and share our vision is to enable a context sensitive approach using abstract data modeling and produce working environnments that support evolving and iterative data and knowledge curation processes.
