About

A small consultancy with a long view of European interoperability

We bring around twenty years of semantic practice to the enterprises, data spaces and administrations that need to understand each other.

Founder & principal

Claudio Baldassarre

Twenty years of reconciling meaning across disciplines have given Claudio a rare sense for where an ecosystem already agrees, and where it only thinks it does. Every engagement starts with him at the foundations, so that what we build on them holds.

‘What drives me is helping ambitious clients get ambitious projects off the ground.’

What we believe

Interoperability is emergent

It grows from consistent design choices made across many systems, over time.

Evidence over assertion

Every model choice should rest on evidence you can check: who maintains it, who uses it, where it runs.

Decide upstream

Interoperability is cheapest at the first design decision. A model chosen well saves years of mapping later.
