Free Simple Tools + Verified Local Knowledge + Linked Open Data = Equitable AI Ecosystem

We build the infrastructure for equitable AI.

Communities use our free tools to publish verified, machine-readable knowledge under their own governance, so AI learns from real sources, not scraped data.

What

Infrastructure for Equitable AI, Grounded in the Knowledge Layer

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

This creates a verified commons where people, places, organizations, and events are discoverable across systems while remaining anchored in the community that created them. Meaning and authority stay intact.

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

Reclaim Authority in the Data Layer

Right now, platforms decide what counts as true about your community. They scrape data, guess at meaning, and feed those guesses into AI systems that learn from themselves instead of from you.

And those systems are breaking. As AI trains on its own synthetic outputs, model quality declines. Each cycle compounds error. The advantage is shifting from whoever has the most data to whoever controls verified data.

If your knowledge isn’t structured and verified, you have no influence over the systems that describe you.

If it is, you gain leverage, not just visibility, but lasting authority over how AI understands your world.

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.

Knowledge becomes durable, verifiable, and available everywhere while staying rooted in community 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.

What We Offer: Choose Your Path Forward

FOOTLIGHT CMS

Turn your content into connected knowledge.

Every publication decision is a data decision.

Footlight CMS structures the people, places, organizations, and events your work touches as you publish. Proven in the complexity of arts and culture, it generates metadata that machines can read while preserving your intent and context. It also connects to verified records in open knowledge graphs to enrich content and prevent duplication.

When knowledge is structured at the source, it enters a verified commons instead of a platform silo. Authority stops leaking upward to intermediaries and begins compounding inside the community that created it.

At the foundation of discoverability lies governance. Visibility without control is noise.

TECHNOLOGY SERVICES

Build knowledge systems that grow in value over time.

Most data systems decay. Each isolated record loses relevance with every passing update.

We design semantic infrastructure that reverses this dynamic. As data becomes structured, linked, and verified, it strengthens the system it joins. Value stops depending on scale and starts depending on connection.

Every implementation expands a shared knowledge layer that AI can trust while keeping meaning grounded in local authority.

Connectivity is not a feature. It is the condition for persistence.

Consulting Services

Design and governance for complex information challenges.

Information infrastructure only endures when design and governance align.

We guide organizations moving from fragmented data systems to connected knowledge architectures, especially where representation, values, and long-term control are at stake.

Our work clarifies what must remain stable through change. From prototype to policy, we create governance models that protect the meaning of data across systems and time.

At the heart of every durable system is alignment: without it, even good data loses truth.

Team

For nearly a decade, we’ve built and proven the formula for equitable AI infrastructure in Canada’s cultural sector. We combine 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.
