About
Ortelan is an applied AI lab where research, product development and investment inform one another.
In practice
Methods and findings move between projects, so each new system benefits from work already done across the lab.
We remain responsible for the systems we operate, including maintenance and changes as requirements develop.
Problems encountered in use give our research specific questions to address.
Ortelan takes its name from Abraham Ortelius, the Antwerp cartographer whose Theatrum Orbis Terrarum of 1570 is usually called the first modern atlas.
He compiled the known world from the maps of other cartographers and redrew them to one consistent format. At the front of the book he named every mapmaker he used.
The name reflects our interest in making existing knowledge useful. We build on published research and test its application in software.
