Contextualise is a web-based knowledge management application for organising information-heavy projects with unstructured, diverse resources. It is built on TopicDB, a topic maps-based graph store, and provides topic views, network graph visualisation, and an interactive 3D viewer.

Use cases

  • organise research notes and sources for investigative journalism
  • build a personal commonplace book of ideas and clippings
  • manage worldbuilding lore for books, movies, or games
  • create and share navigable knowledge maps of a topic
  • visualise relationships between concepts as a knowledge graph
  • structure unstructured project information with topic maps

When to choose

  • you want a self-hosted, topic maps-based knowledge graph tool
  • your project mixes diverse unstructured resources needing semantic linking
  • you want visual graph and 3D exploration of your knowledge base

When to avoid

  • you need a lightweight markdown note app without graph semantics
  • you require multi-user enterprise knowledge management at scale
  • you want a plugin ecosystem or mobile apps
