Knowledge Organisation Infrastructure (KOI) is an open protocol that allows communities to
collaboratively manage knowledge on their own terms while remaining interoperable with others.
Developed by BlockScience with contributions from Metagov and the Australian Research Council Centre
of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society (ADM+S), KOI is designed for contexts where
knowledge needs to be contextual, traceable, and machine-readable without forcing everyone into the
same database or governance model. KOI allows different groups to organise, reference, and share
knowledge in a modular, consent-based way. It enables interoperability without centralisation,
creating a shared architecture for collective intelligence while preserving local control.
