About Unidex

Unidex is the Universal Knowledge Index: a living database of people, organisations and places, designed to be read equally well by people and by machines.

Continuous synchronisation

Records are seeded and refreshed through official Wikimedia interfaces — the Wikipedia REST and Action APIs and the Wikidata entity API. Nothing is scraped. Each record stores the upstream revision it was built from, so an unchanged source is never re-imported.

Community maintained

Every article carries a complete revision history. Editors with a verified email address can edit directly; contributions build reputation, and automated screening flags unusual edits for review rather than blocking them silently.

Machine readable

Facts live as typed properties and graph relationships rather than prose. Pages are server-rendered with schema.org JSON-LD and listed in a generated sitemap.
