— Identity-centred intelligenceReclaim the past.
Unlock the truth.
SARVAH connects fragmented evidence to reveal meaningful relationships between objects, people, places, events and sources.
— The problem
Fragmented information leads to incomplete understanding
Knowledge relating to works of art, cultural objects and the people connected to them is scattered across archives, catalogues, databases, publications, private collections and family histories.
Existing tools help users retrieve documents. They rarely show how those documents support, contradict or complement one another.
SARVAH does not simply retrieve information. It connects previously dispersed evidence to reveal meaningful relationships, reconstruct context and progressively build a richer, more firmly supported understanding.
— What is SARVAH?
An Identity-centred intelligence for cultural heritage.
An artwork, object, document or name takes on its full meaning through the relationships that connect it to other people, places, events and sources.
Where connected evidence becomes useful.
