About the project
The Slovenian business ecosystem is a network of relationships. Our mission is to understand it better.
The Dastabase Project brings together a team of data scientists who use publicly available data and artificial intelligence to build a connected atlas of the Slovenian business ecosystem. We are building a shared data foundation covering businesses, support organisations and the relationships between them. People can explore it through a user interface, while AI assistants can access it through connectors.
Registries, company websites and publicly available business sources describe different parts of the same ecosystem: businesses, support institutions, activities, opportunities and relationships between participants. Connecting these sources lets us move beyond individual records to explore relationships, patterns and change.
We are developing Dastabase as a long-term project at the intersection of data science, natural language understanding and knowledge organisation. Its purpose is to close the gap between information and understanding, making business decisions, collaboration and ecosystem development easier.
Research focus
From scattered business records to a connected model of the ecosystem.
At the heart of the project is a question: how can publicly available business ecosystem data become knowledge that can be explored, verified and reused? We combine data analysis, entity resolution across sources and language models that help make sense of unstructured content.
We consider each data point in context: what it refers to, where it comes from and how it relates to other information. This approach enables new ways of searching, comparing and discovering connections that remain hidden when sources are examined separately.
We see the business ecosystem atlas as an evolving map of knowledge. Its value grows with the diversity of its sources, the quality of its connections and the ability to examine the same facts from different perspectives.
Understanding the ecosystem
Easier access to knowledge can reduce the time spent finding and reconciling information. It can help businesses understand their environment, advisers identify relevant contacts, researchers formulate new questions and support organisations better understand business needs.
Our long-term vision is to contribute to a more connected and informed business ecosystem: an environment where knowledge flows more easily between businesses, support organisations and researchers. Connected data can support new tools for finding partners, identifying business opportunities and exploring how the ecosystem develops.
Sources and access
The project draws on publicly available sources. Their provenance, quality, timing and terms of reuse matter. Public availability does not in itself imply an open licence or unrestricted reuse.
The business ecosystem atlas is developing gradually; coverage and freshness vary across topics. Results should be assessed in the context of their source. For official procedures and decisions, consult the original publication or the relevant institution.
Access to individual applications and features may be free, paid or available by arrangement.
