The Mundaneum is a project that originated in the early 20th century, conceived by Belgian lawyer and universalist Paul Otlet and his colleague Henri La Fontaine. It aimed to create a comprehensive repository of knowledge, which they envisioned as a "World City of Knowledge" or a global archive that would organize and store all human knowledge. The concept was based on the idea of using an extensive system of indexing and classification to make information accessible and usable.
