A timber house covered in wisteria stands over a canal in an old European quarter, with people strolling along the far bank.

Discovery is the platform’s front door to the shared knowledge layer: museum and archive collections, community contributions, places, people, events, traditions, and cultural landscapes, connected as a graph rather than a list of pages.

What it does

Capabilities

  • Interactive cultural map with non-map alternatives
  • Cultural timelines and period browsing
  • Knowledge graph exploration
  • Thematic and museum collections
  • Story-based exploration and oral histories
  • Semantic search with rights-aware retrieval
  • Hybrid retrieval-augmented answers with citations
  • Related-item recommendations with reasons
  • Cross-border cultural connections
  • Discovery by place, period, community, theme, creator, language, category, region, institution, event type, and practice

Step by step

An example journey

  1. Start from a place, a period, or a question; the map, timeline, and search all lead to the same connected knowledge.
  2. Every result explains why it appears, where it comes from, and who contributed it.
  3. Open an item to see its rights status, verification level, provenance history, and available languages.
  4. Follow the graph sideways, from a building to its craft, from a craft to its practitioners, from them to their stories.
  5. Save findings into collections; restricted items stay restricted, visibly.

Built-in safeguards

Rights and AI in this application

Retrieval is filtered by rights and consent before ranking, so restricted, sacred, or community-only material never appears in public results or AI answers.

Verification ladder Consent aware AI always labelled

Where AI is involved: Search and recommendations are AI-assisted with visible reasons. Answers cite their sources; statements without support are labelled as ungrounded rather than invented.
