We love working with data and creating technology which makes a difference – whether in small or ground breaking ways.
We are a team of passionate people who love solving interesting challenges. Our team includes accomplished computer scientists and
data experts who helped define the standards in the Semantic Web and Linked Data, and co-developed Apache Jena. We’ve built ground-breaking linked-data services for the public sector here in the UK and elsewhere. Many of our public sector and Open Data projects have a direct positive benefit for society.
