PUBLIC ROADMAP

The atlas, public map, browser-local Personal SmellBook and applied Fragrance & Spaces tools are live. Labs experiments are public but remain RESEARCH.

SmellBook is deliberately staged. Personalization is live only in the visitor’s browser; accounts, cloud sync and recommendation systems are not live and would each need their own privacy and trust model first.

Knowledge Graph Foundations

Permanent smellbook: identifiers, first-class entities including places, materials, molecules and the plants, foods and animals smells come from, typed relationships with provenance, six evidence classes, field-level data rights, per-entity graph records and a rights-gated open graph export. Molecules come only from VERIFIED claims, with chemical identifiers checked against PubChem and Wikidata and chemical families taken from ChEBI; smells, claims, sources, molecules and lessons link each other only through recorded relationships, never by ranking. No licence has yet been granted for SmellBook-created datasets.

  • Permanent identifiers
  • Entity model
  • Typed relationships
  • Evidence classes
  • Data rights
  • Graph export

Encyclopedia Readiness

The groundwork for growing the Atlas beyond 200 entries without losing quality: a machine-checked entry standard, an editorial draft-review-publish pipeline, duplicate and merge rules that never reuse identifiers, an evidence research agenda and correction notices keyed to permanent identifiers. A draft heritage record format is published for discussion; there are no institutional partners yet. New entries are prepared as unpublished draft batches with checked candidate evidence and a review packet; none is published without a second editor and the owner.
