Build.
Connect.
Control.

Shape how your community appears in AI. We provide the tools and infrastructure to do it.

What

Infrastructure for Representational Power

Transform fragmented community information into structured knowledge—intelligible to machines, grounded in your authority.

Semantic infrastructure connects people, places, organizations, and events through shared foundations built for collaboration without compromise. You build collectively while retaining your context, voice, and control.

This is a power question: who defines how your community is represented in AI systems? When your knowledge becomes machine-readable on your terms, you shape digital representation instead of accepting algorithmic approximation.

Why

Reclaim Knowledge Authority

AI systems are already learning about your community—from scraped data, platform content, and algorithmic guesswork. If you don’t structure your knowledge, someone else will.

This isn’t about better websites or social media presence. It’s about who controls the foundational layer that shapes how your community is understood in an AI-driven world.

We build infrastructure that puts representational power back in your hands—before that power is permanently absorbed by platforms.

HOW

Strategic Architecture. Semantic Precision.

We build the technical layer that lets your knowledge travel across systems without losing what makes it yours.

Our semantic infrastructure, tested across Canada’s cultural sector, bridges human understanding and machine logic. Your information becomes discoverable, durable, and interoperable while staying rooted in your context and authority.

This is how local knowledge moves through AI systems and digital ecosystems. It works everywhere, but it still belongs somewhere.

WHAT WE OFFER

FOOTLIGHT CMS

Turn your content into connected knowledge.

Footlight CMS quietly structures the people, places, organizations, and events your work touches. It does this automatically as you publish. Designed with arts and culture in mind, it generates metadata that makes your content intelligible to machines while preserving your voice and context.

Your data flows into public infrastructure rather than getting trapped in platform silos. You stay in control of how your work is seen in an AI-driven world.

TECHNOLOGY SERVICES

Design knowledge systems that grow in value over time.

We help organizations build semantic infrastructure from wherever they are, whether working with legacy systems, spreadsheets, or sprawling data silos. From metadata modeling to linked data publishing, we create systems that become more powerful, connected, and relevant through use.

Our work turns fragmented information into knowledge that adapts over time, supports AI alignment, and remains rooted in community-defined meaning.

Consulting Services

Strategic guidance for complex information challenges.

We support organizations moving from isolated data systems to connected knowledge infrastructure, especially where 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 scale. From prototypes to policy alignment, we design strategies that position your knowledge for real-world impact in an AI-shaped world.

Team

For nearly a decade, our infrastructure has been tested in the field, developed with Canada’s cultural sector where complexity, diversity, and public responsibility are essential.

We bring a rare mix of semantic web expertise, cultural fluency, and systems thinking. This combination allows us to build knowledge systems that reflect lived meaning, scale with integrity, and protect community authority in an AI-shaped world.
