ReasonableGraph

Semantic Infrastructure for Cultural Heritage and Digital Humanities Beyond Traditional Archiving

An open-source platform that transforms static collections into dynamic, interconnected knowledge graphs

The Platform

We offer an advanced, open-source platform that transforms static collections into dynamic, interconnected knowledge graphs. A perfect fit for libraries, archives, and research communities, RG breaks down data silos through secure collaborative environments (with absolute responsibility retention) and leverages AI-assisted discovery to turn heritage into living, shared knowledge.

From Data to Interconnected Knowledge ReasonableGraph natively manages data as a semantic graph, empowering institutions to structure their collections as Linked Open Data. By natively supporting complex standard-based ontologies—such as FRBR/IFLA LRM, BIBFRAME, FRBRoo, CIDOC-CRM, and EAD/ISAD—RG allows for highly expressive, multi-layered descriptions of your historical, musical, and archival assets.

Core Innovations & Features

All in One Single Installation & Absolute Autonomy

Manage joint projects, federated networks, and multiple local repositories under one unified digital infrastructure. Yet, every participating institution, community, or researcher maintains complete autonomy: you control your own data, define your own access policies, build your own custom cataloguing forms, and even create your own distinct microsite. You decide what is shared with the central network and what remains private.

Connecting Heterogeneous Data & Multiple Entities

Break down information silos and “unite the fragments of knowledge”. RG’s semantic graph seamlessly interlinks highly heterogeneous data (from manuscripts, rare books, and documents to oral histories, sound recordings, and photographs). The system dynamically maps and connects multiple entities (persons, families, organizations, places, concepts, and events) across diverse scientific fields, including Digital Humanities, History, Anthropology, Sociology, and Law.

Responsibility Retention & Access Management

Foster true collaborative research by offering advanced functions for managing access rights to metadata and digital files (records/assets). Our system guarantees an indelible trail of provenance—recording exactly who contributed what. Through “Extension Nodes”, external researchers can add analysis and metadata to existing entities without altering the original data, ensuring no data merging happens without your explicit consent.

Interoperability & Linked Open Data

Ensure your data aligns with FAIR principles. Import metadata easily via Z39.50 or Wikidata, and export in standard formats (RDF/XML, JSON-LD, EDM, DC) for seamless integration with platforms like Europeana. RG operates natively as a Semantic & Linked Open Data environment.

AAA Accessibility

Fully accessible web interfaces designed to meet the highest WCAG AAA standards, ensuring accessibility for all users.
