The Entity Registry System (ERS)
0 likes766 views
The Entity Registry System (ERS) is a fully decentralized linked data publication platform that allows users to collaboratively describe and link entities, functioning under various connectivity contexts. It utilizes contributors, bridges, and a global server to aggregate and expose a knowledge base, eliminating issues of data silos and promoting peer-to-peer sharing. The ERS is open-source, low-resource demanding, and encourages community contributions.
