Seven Past Nine

Seven Past Nine is a data stewardship and informatics consultancy that develops data and information solutions for academic and commercial research. Operating through two legal entities — Seven Past Nine d.o.o. in Cerknica, Slovenia, and Seven Past Nine GmbH in Schopfheim, Germany — the company combines technical and scientific expertise to design, collect, organise and present research data. Its stated focus is building data management solutions that do not compromise on project requirements, spanning data and metadata format design, data warehouse development, and web application development. The company's scientific domain expertise covers life science, toxicology, and chem-, bio- and nanoinformatics. Its team reports more than 70 years of combined experience in these areas. Internally, the Slovenian entity (7P9-SI) leads development of information management tools, software, web services and collaboration platforms, while the German entity (7P9-DE) serves as the main contact point for data producers, providing data and FAIRification stewardship and designing data collection workflows built around and extending existing infrastructure. Together these are described as data shepherd consultancy services. Seven Past Nine participates in European research projects. It coordinates PINK, an open innovation platform for industry offering computational approaches for advanced materials and chemicals development, safety assessment, and AI techniques for data searches, culminating in an integrated PINKISH Platform with data visualisation, generative AI and an interoperability framework. It is a partner in INSIGHT, which establishes a framework for mechanistic impact assessment of chemicals and materials using a multi-layered approach integrating data, models and impact outcome pathway graphs, and in MACRAMÉ, which develops methodologies to detect, characterise and quantify advanced materials across their life cycle for health and environmental impact assessment. Leadership includes Joahim Dokler, CEO and senior software developer, and Thomas Exner, CEO and senior data steward and data scientist. The team also includes Maja Brajnik, information architect and user interface/experience designer, and Cintia Horváth, researcher. The company is privately held and registered in Slovenia (Okrožno sodišče v Ljubljani, Srg 2020/22834) and Germany (Amtsgericht Freiburg, HRB 723853).

Seven Past Nine is a data stewardship and informatics consultancy registered in Cerknica, Slovenia, and Schopfheim, Germany. The Slovenian entity, Seven Past Nine d.o.o., is registered with the Okrožno sodišče v Ljubljani under Srg 2020/22834, and the German entity, Seven Past Nine GmbH, is registered with the Amtsgericht Freiburg under HRB 723853. The company operates as a single group through these two entities, which its own materials describe as almost always acting in unison when joining projects or providing services to customers. The company was built around a team with more than 70 years of combined experience in designing data and metadata formats, data warehouse development, and web application development, with research backgrounds in life science, toxicology, and chem-, bio- and nanoinformatics. This combination of technical and scientific expertise is the basis of its positioning: building data management solutions that do not compromise on project requirements. Internally, the group divides responsibilities between its two entities. 7P9-SI leads the development of information management tools and software, web services and collaboration platforms. 7P9-DE is the main contact point for data producers, providing data and FAIRification stewardship and designing data collection workflows built around and extending existing infrastructure. Together these activities are referred to as data shepherd consultancy services. Seven Past Nine's work is closely tied to European research and innovation projects. It coordinates PINK, an open innovation platform for industry that offers computational approaches for advanced materials and chemicals development, safety assessment, and AI techniques for data searches. PINK translates industrial requirements and market demands into decision support and addresses training needs, culminating in an integrated PINKISH Platform that provides decision support through data visualisation and generative AI technologies while also developing an advanced interoperability framework for equitable information exchange. The company is also a partner in INSIGHT, which establishes an innovative framework for the mechanistic impact assessment of chemicals and materials using a multi-layered approach that integrates data, models and impact outcome pathway graphs, providing user-friendly FAIR-data and computational tools aimed at transforming sustainability and safety assessments and making advanced AI methods accessible for Safe and Sustainable by Design approaches. It is additionally a partner in MACRAMÉ, which develops methodologies applicable to advanced materials, detecting, characterising and quantifying them during processing and product life cycle, including recycling and end-of-life, to assess resulting impacts on health and the environment, and preparing for standardisation, harmonisation and regulatory validation. Leadership spans both entities: Joahim Dokler is CEO and senior software developer, and Thomas Exner is CEO and senior data steward and data scientist. The wider team includes Maja Brajnik, information architect and UI/UX designer, and Cintia Horváth, researcher.
