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 the official, documented interfaces of open reference databases — encyclopedic REST and query APIs and public structured-data endpoints. Nothing is scraped, and prose is rewritten before publication. 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.

Licensing

Article text is available under CC BY-SA 4.0. Structured facts drawn from public structured-data endpoints are CC0. Unidex is an independent project and is not affiliated with any of the upstream databases it reads from. Every article lists its own sources.
