KurrawongAI

KurrawongAI is a small, Australian-based information technology company that specialises in Knowledge Graphs, data modelling and artificial intelligence. It uses Semantic Web data modelling to build Knowledge Graphs that integrate siloed data and provide high-quality feed-ins to AI tools. The firm describes its people as data modellers, cloud operators, AI engineers, vocabulary managers and data governance specialists with decades of combined experience across research, government and the private sector. The company was founded in 2022 by Nicholas Car, a data architect and Knowledge Graph specialist who previously spent a decade in informatics research at Australian universities and CSIRO, and who has worked in international Semantic Web standards development. KurrawongAI is based in Shorncliffe, Queensland, and operates primarily in the Australian market, where it can be contracted directly and is listed on many Australian government panels. KurrawongAI provides consulting services, one-off projects and long-term support arrangements to operate systems and assist clients' staff with processes and training. It also offers several unique products that assist with Knowledge Graph management and AI systems, and provides SPARQL training resources. The company is a W3C member organisation whose staff edit standards and lead a Working Group, an OGC member organisation whose staff edit standards, and its staff implement Semantic Web technology for ISO's Technical Committee 211. As a private, founder-led consultancy, KurrawongAI positions itself as product-independent, focusing on open standards and interoperable data infrastructure rather than a single vendor platform. Its work spans data integration, data governance, data exchange and interoperability, with particular strength in applying knowledge graph technologies to integrate disparate data collected by multiple government and research organisations.

KurrawongAI was founded in 2022 by Nicholas Car, a data architect and Knowledge Graph specialist. Car had previously worked for a decade in informatics research at Australian universities and government research organisations, including CSIRO, and his PhD focused on decision modelling using Semantic Web ontologies for irrigation. He has also worked in international Semantic Web standards development in the areas of data profiling and spatial data. Since 2018, Car worked in the private sector supplying commercial and free open source Knowledge Graph-based products and services. In 2022 he founded KurrawongAI to focus on product-independent consulting.

Its team includes data modellers, cloud operators, AI engineers, vocabulary managers and data governance specialists with decades of research, government and private sector experience. Among its people is Edmond Chuc, Knowledge Graph Senior Developer. Chuc is a software engineer, information modeller and knowledge graph and Semantic Web senior developer. He began his career in data integration and interoperability at CSIRO, working on web services and reference datasets that underpinned the Location Index project. He later worked as a senior software engineer at TERN, a national research infrastructure funded by NCRIS, where he developed information modelling, data governance, data integration, data exchange and data interoperability skills. At TERN he started multiple initiatives and led projects that used knowledge graph technologies to integrate disparate ecological field survey data collected from multiple state and federal government and research organisations, and to improve data interoperability between services within TERN's data infrastructure.
