Publications, datasets, grant records, and expertise live in separate systems: the repository, the research information system, the library, individual labs. None of them holds the connections. LangOptima ingests the scholarly record you already have and connects it into a single knowledge graph, so related findings, prior methods, and potential collaborators surface in seconds, with citations back to the source.
The approach behind the Open Research Knowledge Graph, which connects papers, authors, and findings as data rather than documents. Harvard Medical School's Zitnik Lab applied the same principle in OptimusKG, a biomedical research graph grounded in 18 published ontologies.
A researcher starts a new project and asks what the institution already knows: prior work, related datasets, who has used this method before. In many research organizations, the answer depends on who they happen to know.
The repository holds papers. The grants office holds awards. Individual labs hold datasets and methods. Each system indexes its own records, and none of them knows what the others contain.
Finding related work inside your own institution still runs on personal networks and keyword luck. Relevant expertise two departments away might as well be at another university.
When a researcher moves on or retires, the connections they carried leave with them: which datasets they built on, which methods, which collaborators. The papers stay; the context goes.
LangOptima ingests the scholarly record your institution already holds: publications, datasets, grant records, research profiles. It structures what's inside them, from topics and methods to materials, authors, and the relationships between them. It sits above your repositories and research information systems without replacing them, so a question that once meant weeks of manual searching becomes a single query with citations.
Modern AI can structure a great deal on its own. Where it stops is the meaning specific to your organization: the concepts, rules, and relationships that make your business yours, and where its real value lives. We structure that layer with you on open, world-standard semantics, not a proprietary schema, so the graph reflects how you operate and stays yours: no vendor lock-in, portable to whatever you run next.

You don't have to boil the ocean. Start with a single business context and prove it there. Once that foundation is laid properly, the same connected data tends to open opportunities in other departments, so the next team builds on the work already done rather than starting from zero.
Repositories, research information systems, grant records, and lab outputs unified at the semantic layer. Nothing moves. Nothing is replaced.
Traverse from a method to every group that has used it, from a dataset to every paper built on it, from a topic to the researchers active in it: connections no keyword search will surface.
“Who here has worked with this technique?” answered in seconds, with the publications to back it, for literature reviews, grant bids, and collaboration decisions.
Every researcher and librarian works with the institution's full memory behind them. New PhD students query decades of institutional output from day one, instead of rediscovering it paper by paper.
Representative scenarios of how research institutions apply a knowledge graph over their scholarly record. Illustrative of the pattern, not published client references.
A research office connects its publications, datasets, and grant records in a knowledge graph. Teams starting a new project query prior related work and internal expertise directly, each result citing the publication or dataset, instead of rediscovering externally what a colleague already produced.
A funding call lands and the office needs to know who should bid. Because topics, methods, and people are structured in the graph, the question runs as one traversal, from the call's subject matter to the relevant publications, datasets, and researchers, assembling the evidence base for a bid with its citation trail intact.
However complex the research landscape underneath, the engagement itself stays simple.
We ingest the publications, datasets, and records you already hold, straight from the repository, grant, and lab systems you already run. Nothing is replaced — your teams keep working where they work today.
A scoped 8–12 week paid pilot structures it into a knowledge graph around one question that matters, say what your institution already knows about one research area. Your domain experts contribute the knowledge; we do the engineering. If it proves value, you expand from there. If it doesn’t, it doesn’t scale.
You query the connected layer in plain language, and answers come in seconds, accurate and traceable, each citing the publications and datasets behind it so you can check it yourself.
Curious what disconnected data may be costing your organization? The free Data Silo Cost Calculator puts a number on it in about two minutes, with no signup to see the result.
Try the Data Silo Cost Calculator →For a single document with a single answer, plain search or an LLM pointed at your PDFs does the job well, and a knowledge graph would be overkill. The difference shows up on the questions one document can’t answer: which prior findings, methods, datasets, or collaborators connect to the question in front of you, across work that was never indexed together. Those answers live in the relationships across your research databases, repositories, and grant systems and your publications, datasets, and proposals, not inside any one of them. A knowledge graph connects the structured systems and the documents into one model, follows the chain across them, and returns each answer with a citation back to the source it came from. Something the next piece of work can build on, with the evidence attached.
A 30-minute conversation about your research information landscape: which systems hold your publications, datasets, and grants, and what a connected view of them would answer first. No deck, no pitch.
