What’s Truenumbers?

Truenumbers (TN) is a language-oriented data representation implemented in software.  It presents APIs for creating, tagging and querying self-describing immutable facts called truenumbers, and can persist these at scale in a variety of database technologies including relational, big-table stores like Accumulo, and document stores such as Postgres or MongoDB.  Truenumbers are portable and individually secure, and thus able to carry data with retention of meaning, pedigree and provenance end-to-end, at the single data-item level.


Is TN a knowledge base?

Yes. TN and its query language are structurally similar to the semantic web’s RDF and SPARQL, but at a higher level and with richer semantics. TN’s can thus represent knowledge more efficiently, with higher density and discoverability than RDF or object-oriented representations.
