Grab the Turtle files from GitHub, load into your triplestore.\n\n1. [Browse the ontologies](https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002Fiqns-org\u002Fontologies)\n2. Pick the domains relevant to you (AI, legal, finance, health, etc.)\n3. Load into any RDF store (Apache Jena, Blazegraph, GraphDB, Stardog)\n4. Query with SPARQL\n\nNo account needed. No sign-up.\n\n---\n\n### Connect AI agents via MCP\n\nIf you're building agentic workflows, the MCP server gives your agents structured access to the knowledge graph. Agents query concepts, relationships, and cross-framework alignments directly — no PDF context windows needed.\n\nAvailable on the [Business tier](\u002Fservices).\n\n---\n\n### Hosted SPARQL endpoint\n\nDon't want to run your own triplestore? The hosted endpoint gives you query access without infrastructure.\n\nAvailable on the [Business tier](\u002Fservices).\n\n---\n\n### Build private knowledge bases\n\nExtend the public ontologies with your own institutional knowledge — internal policies, custom frameworks, proprietary risk taxonomies. Kept private, queryable alongside the public graph.\n\nAvailable on the [Business tier](\u002Fservices).\n\n---\n\n## Need help?\n\n- [GitHub Discussions](https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002Fiqns-org\u002Fontologies\u002Fdiscussions) — community Q&A\n- [Contact us](\u002Fsupport) — partnerships, custom work, questions\n\n---\n\n[Back to home](\u002F) · [How it works](\u002Fhow-it-works)\n",1776235620906]
