We make freely available knowledge readily accessible to everyone.
We highlight valuable media.
To do this, we need to search, analyse, review and compare different information- and meta-information-sources.
Once we have an overview about what can be known, we begin working on expanding the “known to be know”.
We are greatful for publically available information from Open Educational Resources, Science Communication and Journalism in general.
We want to help by connecting all these pieces of information into a unified picture.
We research & develop a digital library for valuable media.
To get from unstructured, unconnected dots in an evergrowing ocean of information, we need to develop scaling search and analysis tools to get insights into the human knowledge. With these tools, we can begin to learn what someone else might already know, until we eventually reach:
A common reality.
Research
- Find out what it means to be “valuable” and what media already exists.
- Define the limits of “knowledge” and “consensus” to find out what can be known.
- Connect to generations of scientists and build upon their contributions.
Tasks
Development
- We already have a plethora of tools available – we only need to connect them in value-adding pipelines.
- Once these pipelines streamline the workflows, we can convert millions of articles and videos into one shared knowledge base.
- This knowledge base needs to be build, maintained and continuously developed further.
