Research Project:


LinkedCulture

LinkedCulture is a modular open-source platform designed to help museums, archives, and libraries enrich, connect, and explore their collections. By combining human expertise with AI-driven enrichment, it transforms isolated records into a unified, searchable network of cultural knowledge.

Built on open-source infrastructure: featuring resident AI models, knowledge graphs, vector search, and agent-powered workflow automation to support discovery, storytelling, and cross-institutional collaboration.
