Building context for a complex world.
What is Knowledge Atlas?

A learning tool on the Web. If Facebook is "who I am" and Twitter is "what I am doing", then Knowledge Atlas is "what I know". Knowledge Atlas is designed for individuals to create their own knowledge spaces and connect what they know with others.

Create a map of the world's knowledge

By mapping out what you know using the tools provided by the Knowledge Atlas, you can help people find their way through an ocean of information. Share what you know, build a co-operative community, and have your say in how your Knowledge Atlas Co-op uses its resources.

We are a co-op

Knowledge Atlas is a web-based co-operative, owned and controlled by the people who make it, and founded on the principles of equity, transparency, inclusion, and collaboration.

How Knowledge Atlas works

Knowledge Atlas uses trees to map out concepts and how they relate in regards to time, cause and effect and complexity. It also uses storylines to portray narratives and points of view.
