KNOWLEDGE BASE

Bring all your publications together in one living knowledge base.

Many organisations have an entire archive of publications where knowledge is hard to find again. The material sits as standalone PDFs, and what was published three years ago is rarely dug out. A knowledge base makes the whole collection accessible as one place.

WHAT IS A KNOWLEDGE BASE

All your knowledge, as one publication.

We build a living edition on top of your existing publications. Everything is linked 1:1 to the original publications, so traceability and credibility are preserved.

  1. All publications in one place

    Reports, analyses and briefs from several years are brought together in one entry point, which the reader can use without knowing which publication holds the answer.
  2. Search and ask across everything

    The search covers the whole collection, not just one report. The question is asked in plain language, and the answer is locked to your own content.
  3. Verbatim quote and source

    Every answer points back to the specific publication and the printed page number, so it can be verified and cited.
  4. Listen to selected parts

    Key sections can be listened to instead of read. Generated audio is clearly labelled.

THE IDEA

From separate publications to one knowledge space.

The diagram shows the principle behind a knowledge base: the silos are opened up, and knowledge from the whole collection is brought together in one place without losing the link back to the sources.

01 THE ISOLATED ARCHIVE

Knowledge locked inside separate publications

Every report, evaluation and white paper stands alone. The valuable passages exist, but they can only be found one publication at a time.

02 THE CROSS-CUTTING VIEW

One question runs through the whole collection

The question cuts through every publication at once. Only the relevant passages are activated and brought together across years.

03 THE LIVING KNOWLEDGE SPACE

One coherent answer with roots

The passages come together into one readable answer. Each part points back to its publication and printed page number, so everything can be verified.

OPERATIONS

The knowledge base can be run by us or by you.

With both options, a price can be agreed for transforming existing material, typically 10 publications or more.

WHAT YOU GET

What a knowledge base does for you.

  1. Older knowledge gets used again

    Publications from previous years are found again, because they can be searched together with the latest material.
  2. Connections across years and themes

    The reader sees how a topic has been treated over time, instead of opening one PDF at a time.
  3. Insight into what your audience is looking for

    You see what is being searched for, and what isn't being found. That is both direction for your next publication and concrete evidence for your next application.
  4. Your domain, your design

    The knowledge base can live on its own domain or be embedded directly in your own site.
  5. You choose who runs it

    We build and quality-assure the knowledge base. Afterwards, we run it, or you get administrator access and take over yourselves.

HOW WE DO IT

From archive to living collection.

  1. You hand over the archive

    We start from the finished publications you already have. No rewriting, no new content.
  2. We build and quality-assure

    The material is linked 1:1 to the original publications, and we check page numbers, sources and goal profiles together with you.
  3. Publishing and ongoing expansion

    The knowledge base goes live, and new publications are added as they come out.

Let's look at your whole archive.
