Research & Foundation

2008 - 2023

Identified fundamental limitations in conventional data modeling approaches. Extensive study of ontological frameworks leading to grounding of our approach in established semantic standards. Developed theoretical framework for unified representation of objects, aspects, states, and causal relationships.

✓ Completed

Core Platform

2023 - 2024

Fact store with graph-based persistence

PostgreSQL based semantic triple storage optimized for ontological operations and traversal

✓ Completed

Layered service architecture

Fact access, semantic mapping, API gateway, session management

✓ Completed

Declarative query system

Datalog-inspired pull specifications for flexible graph traversal and object materialization

✓ Completed

Semantic caching layer

Performance optimization for frequently accessed ontological structures

✓ Completed

Persistent subgraph environments

Isolated workspaces for ontology development, testing, and application contexts

✓ Completed

Administrative interface

Ontological development and model browsing

✓ Completed

API stabilization and documentation

Consistent endpoint design and comprehensive developer reference

✓ Completed

Q1-Q2 2025

January - June 2025

Object-Semantic Mapper (OSM)

Core mechanism for bidirectional semantic transformation between application objects and fact sub-graphs

✓ Completed

Dual frontend/backend SDK

Shared type definitions across client and server with unified specification format

Validation with non-trivial modeling scenarios

Real-world complexity testing including spatial positioning, temporal sequences, and multi-entity relationships

✓ Completed
