Neo Gens is an advisory and design practice, not a systems vendor. Every engagement runs as a joint team: your curators, subject librarians, cataloguers, archivists and systems staff alongside our ontologists and knowledge engineers.
The reason is practical, not diplomatic. The knowledge worth modelling is in your people, not in your documents — and an ontology built by an outside firm alone is one your institution will neither trust nor maintain.
Run together before anything is built: what does the institution actually know, where is it held, and which questions can't currently be asked of it?
Working sessions where your specialists define meaning and we make it rigorous and shared. Built from your existing vocabularies, not over them.
The ontology made real, built beside your systems staff so they know every design decision from the inside — not from a handover document.
AI reasoning over your graph, inside your boundary, bound by your evidentiary rules — and your team trained to extend it after we've gone.
90 minutes. Bring your curators or librarians, and one question your institution couldn't answer.
