Build.
Connect.
Control.

Communities need accurate representation in the AI era. Build infrastructure that makes your knowledge machine-readable and discoverable, while keeping it governed by you.

Here’s what that infrastructure looks like in practice.

What

Infrastructure for Representational Power

Turn fragmented information into structured, linked knowledge that machines can understand and your community controls.

This creates a commons where people, places, organizations, and events are discoverable across systems — while remaining anchored in the community that created them, so meaning and authority are never lost.

This is more than visibility. It is the foundation for a trusted knowledge network no commercial platform can own. When your knowledge becomes machine-readable on your terms, you gain a seat at the layer where truth is decided.

Why does this matter now? Because the window for influence is closing.

Why

Reclaim Authority in the Digital Layer

Today, platforms like Google, Meta, and OpenAI decide what counts as true about your community, drawing from scraped data and algorithmic guesswork.

Without structured knowledge, you have no direct influence over those systems.

Communities that act now gain visibility, accuracy, and lasting influence in the digital knowledge ecosystem. Those who wait risk being defined by others.

So how do we solve it? By giving you a clear, practical method.

HOW

Strategic Architecture. Semantic Precision.

Structure. Convert scattered data into machine-readable knowledge.

Connect. Link through open standards to ensure interoperability.

Govern. Retain control over updates, context, and authority.

Our infrastructure, tested across Canada’s cultural sector, bridges human meaning and machine logic. Your knowledge becomes durable, verifiable, and available everywhere — while staying rooted in your authority.

This is how local knowledge moves through AI systems and digital ecosystems. It works everywhere, but it still belongs somewhere: anchored in the community that created it.

And here’s how you can begin, depending on where you are.

What We Offer: Choose Your Path Forward

FOOTLIGHT CMS

Turn your content into connected knowledge.

Footlight CMS structures the people, places, organizations, and events your work touches as you publish. Originally built for the complexity of arts and culture, it generates metadata that machines can read while preserving your voice and context. It can also draw from existing verified records in open knowledge graphs to enrich your content and avoid duplication.

Your data flows into trusted public infrastructure instead of being trapped in platform silos, giving you lasting control over how your work is represented in an AI-shaped world.

TECHNOLOGY SERVICES

Build knowledge systems that grow in value over time.

We create semantic infrastructure from any starting point, whether working with legacy systems, spreadsheets, or sprawling data silos. From metadata modeling to linked data publishing, each system becomes more connected, relevant, and authoritative through use.

Every system we build links to a broader knowledge commons, placing your information in the machine-readable layer that AI will trust while keeping it anchored in community-defined meaning.

Consulting Services

Design and governance for complex information challenges.

We guide organizations moving from isolated data systems to connected knowledge infrastructure, especially when values, representation, and long-term control are at stake.

With expertise in metadata, digital systems, and public-interest technology, we help clarify what matters now and what will endure. From prototypes to policy alignment, we design strategies that secure lasting authority over how your community is represented in an AI-shaped world.

Team

For nearly a decade, we have built and tested infrastructure in Canada’s cultural sector, combining semantic web expertise, cultural fluency, and systems thinking to create knowledge systems that scale with integrity and protect community authority in an AI-shaped world.
