About

This site explores the integration of conceptual modeling, logic-based reasoning, and intelligent data systems into the fabric of modern applications. It operates on the philosophy that systems, especially those at the heart of decisions, automation, or AI, ought to embed knowledge, semantics, and logic as fundamental components.

This involves developing tools and methods for:

This initiative welcomes collaboration with researchers, developers, and open-source projects aligned with its mission. If exploring knowledge-driven AI, designing schema-first architectures, or building semantically aware platforms, collaboration and conversation are always welcome.
