The Knowledge Web is an interactive learning tool, an online resource that enables users to explore the history and creation of ideas. Users journey through a rich, three-dimensional database of knowledge, made up of thousands of history’s key people, places, and inventions, interlinked in thousands of ways, to discover the remarkable serendipity behind humankind’s tireless commitment to invention and innovation.
Content for the initial Knowledge Web database is being compiled from the research James Burke has collected over his career. With continuing contributions from subject matter experts and digital content providers such as libraries and museums, the Knowledge Web can grow to include a theoretically unlimited amount of information.
