Semiont
The open-source, future-proof framework that enables humans and intelligent agents to co-create shared knowledge — governed by you and built to last.
Semiont is a standards-compliant multimedia resource management system built on the W3C Web Annotation model. It transforms unstructured content into interconnected semantic networks through collaborative markup, linking, and AI-powered knowledge extraction—all stored as standard, interoperable annotations.
Why Semiont?
- Standards-Based - Built on W3C Web Annotation for long-term interoperability and data portability
- AI-Native - Designed from the ground up to work seamlessly with large language models and intelligent agents
- Self-Sovereign - Run on your infrastructure with your data — no cloud dependencies, no vendor lock-in
- Future-Proof - Open standards ensure your knowledge remains accessible regardless of technology changes
AI-Powered Knowledge Management
Annotation Detection
Automatically detect and create semantic annotations including highlights, assessments, comments, tags, and entity references — turning raw content into structured knowledge.
Entity Resolution
Link detected entities to specific resources or external knowledge bases, building a rich semantic network that connects related concepts across your entire knowledge system.
Context Retrieval
Extract precise semantic context from your knowledge graph for LLM consumption, enabling AI assistants to reason over your specific domain knowledge.
Contextualized Generation
Create new resources aligned with your existing knowledge, maintaining consistency and coherence across all AI-generated content.
Use Cases
