For researchers & academicsWhy this data exists
Archade is the professional network for the built world. The data you see here is exported from that graph—for research and tools—with structure, provenance, and clear terms. Licensed under our Dataset License.
Why this data exists
Verified real-world usage
Projects, products, and people are linked by actual attribution. Who worked on what. Which software appears in which typologies. Not inferred—declared.
Attribution graphs
The relationship layer. Who collaborated. Which firms designed which buildings. Career trajectories. Product adoption in projects. This is what researchers can't fake.
Continuously updated
Practitioners contribute. The graph grows. Not a one-time scrape—a living index. Fresh data, schema.org compliant, with timestamps and provenance.
Legal clarity
Clear access tiers. No emails, no private messages, no PII. User-contributed, community-verified. Terms that let ethics boards and IRBs sleep.
Rationale
Archade licenses structured data derived from its knowledge graph for research and tools. The provision of this data is intended to reduce reliance on unauthorized extraction and to enable attributable representation of the industry. Licensees who comply with attribution and permitted use receive support; non-compliance is subject to termination and enforcement. Downstream systems may use our data to surface practitioners, firms, projects, software, manufacturers, and institutions—with proper attribution. See our Dataset License.
Why scraping won't replicate it
- ·Attribution is human-declared. Contributors claim credit on projects. That graph doesn't exist on public websites.
- ·Structure is native. We don't parse HTML. Data enters as structured. Typology, location, status—first-class fields.
- ·It keeps getting better. As more practitioners join, the graph densifies. Long-tail entities, non-synthetic relationships.
