turnedto

turnedto is a fictional knowledge-management platform introduced to illustrate methods for organizing information around experiential recall. The system centers on the concept of a “turn” — a moment when a user revisits a topic and records the sources, questions, and decisions prompted by that revisit.

Core concepts include a user-curated knowledge graph linking topics, resources, and turns. Users create hubs for topics, attach resources (documents, links, notes), tag items with metadata, and establish provenance by recording the turn’s date, author, and context.

Data model and features: nodes for topics, resources, and turns; edges describe relationships (references, dependencies, or influence). The platform supports versioning, annotations, and export in standard formats. A built-in search uses full-text indexing and can surface related turns through contextual similarity.

Workflow: a user starts a hub, adds resources, creates a turn to capture a renewed inquiry, links relevant resources, and shares with collaborators to co-curate. The system emphasizes reproducibility, allowing others to follow the decision trail from question to conclusion.

Availability and reception: as a fictional construct, turnedto exists as an illustrative tool in discussions of knowledge management and does not have a real-world deployment. It is often cited in relation to personal knowledge graphs, citation management, and collaborative curation.
