Tulbase

Tulbase is a community-driven knowledge management platform designed to store, relate, and track factual information in a collaborative environment. It emphasizes a graph-like data model that represents entities as nodes and relations as edges, with support for properties, schemas, provenance, and version history. Tulbase provides APIs for programmatic access, including REST and GraphQL interfaces, and is intended to enable rapid building of knowledge graphs, catalogs, and lightweight databases.

The project was conceived in the early 2020s by an international group of developers and researchers seeking an open, modular alternative to proprietary knowledge bases. An initial alpha release introduced core concepts such as modular extensions, user roles, and data validation. The platform has since evolved through community contributions and documented governance processes, with ongoing development focusing on reliability, scalability, and developer ergonomics.

Key features include a modular plugin system, role-based access control, change tracking with history and diffs, import/export tools, schema definition for consistent data, and multilingual localization. Tulbase supports collaborative editing workflows, conflict resolution, offline syncing, and enterprise-style security options for sensitive data.

Use cases span academic research, museum catalogs, NGO knowledge repositories, and personal knowledge bases. The ecosystem includes a documentation site, a plugin marketplace, and community forums that contribute to plugins, templates, and connectors to external data sources.
