HALOWERK researchwerk

Answers the two questions that open any serious piece of research. First, where does something stand officially: filter a curated directory of authorities, registers, standards bodies and intergovernmental organisations by subject and country and get, for each one, what it is actually authoritative

Splits the answer into sentences and measures, for each one, how much of it is covered by the supplied sources. Coverage is asymmetric on purpose: the question is what share of the statement appears in the source, so a long source can fully cover a short claim, and it combines single-word overlap wi

Searches OpenAlex and Crossref for publications and returns each with its DOI, authors and their affiliations, publication year, venue, abstract, citation count and, where one exists, a direct link to a legally free full text with the licence it is offered under. OpenAlex stores abstracts as an inve

Queries the European Patent Office Linked Open Data endpoint, which is the only patent source still reachable without a key: PatentsView has been retired, and both EPO OPS and the USPTO Open Data Portal answer 403 without credentials. Coverage is therefore EP publications and this is stated in every

Searches Tenders Electronic Daily, the EU procurement journal, and returns notices with buyer, title, place of performance, estimated value, procedure type and publication date, each linked to the full notice. Search runs on CPV codes because that is how TED is indexed — free text finds a fraction o

Searches the official EU open data portal and returns datasets with what decides whether they are usable: the licence, classified by whether commercial reuse is allowed and what attribution or share-alike it demands. A dataset under a non-commercial licence is marked as unusable for a paid product r

Queries the Internet Archive for the captured versions of a URL and returns them with capture time, HTTP status, MIME type and content digest, oldest and newest first. Because consecutive captures share a digest when nothing changed, the versions where the content actually differed are marked — that

Scores a source along the dimensions that decide whether a claim can rest on it. Recency: how old the material is against how fast the field moves, because a five-year-old figure is fine in history and worthless in pricing. Directness: whether it reports its own research, official record or announce

Searches global news coverage for protest, conflict and diplomatic activity in a region and returns the reporting with source counts, languages, countries of publication and the article links. Ranking is by breadth of coverage rather than by recency, because a story three outlets carry and one three

For each node you name — a port, a plant, a corridor, a supplier — the service counts reporting on five disruption themes over a recent window and compares it against the same term own longer baseline. Self-referential comparison is the design: Rotterdam and a regional port have entirely different n

Tracks how much is written about an organisation and in what tone, comparing a recent window against the same term own longer baseline, and returns both the volume ratio and the tone shift with the articles behind them. The framing is fixed and repeated in the response: this is an attention signal a

Computes the growth of coverage for a topic between a recent window and a baseline, and reports the spread across languages and publishing countries alongside it. The spread is the more informative half: a topic exploding in one language is a national event, one rising simultaneously across eight la

Returns the geographic places named in coverage of a topic, each with the number of articles mentioning it, the number of distinct sources, and coordinates where the source supplies them. The distinction the service is built on is between mention and occurrence: an article about a decision taken in

Collects up to 15 recent EP publication candidates from a caller-supplied IPC class through the official EPO Linked Open Data endpoint, embeds concept and title/abstract text locally with nomic-embed-text, and returns the closest matches. The IPC scope prevents a misleading full-corpus keyword scan
