Open data, the reproducible protocols that make it, and a native app that renders it on your own machine — no server, no account. Start with Brightfield: one command installs it.

Install script

curl -fsSL https://install.meridian.online/brightfield | bash

Homebrew

brew install meridian-online/tap/brightfield

Works today: a native macOS app that opens on a gallery of starts — bundled examples plus the EDGAR ↔ GLEIF crosswalk graph — every one drawing with the network switched off. No telemetry, no update check.

Not yet: Linux and Windows builds, and pointing it at your own sources. That work is still ahead, in the open.

Brightfield's generated dashboard for the California Housing sample: a map of every row plotted by latitude and longitude, beside a grid of one tile per column — median income, house age, rooms, bedrooms, population, occupancy, latitude, longitude and median house value — each drawn as the chart its type earns.

Brightfield opening a data file it has never seen, the California Housing sample, as a dashboard drawn from what each column's type earns.

Datasets, Protocols, Panels

Everything Meridian publishes is one of three things — and Brightfield is the lens that opens onto all of them.

Datasets

What the data is: typed, licensed, queryable tables — including the crosswalks that carry the join between one code system and the next.

Protocols

How it's made: the reproducible recipe behind every dataset. Run it yourself and get the same bytes.

Panels

How it's shown: the views a dataset ships with, rendered on your GPU by Brightfield.

The point is the join. Public data is free; what rots is the link between one register of the world and the next. Meridian maintains the crosswalk so you don't rebuild it.

Two of the tools behind it have docs of their own: Finetype, which classifies text into semantic types, and Arcform, which runs data pipelines from one YAML file.

Live now: the EDGAR ↔ GLEIF crosswalk

207k maintained edges resolving SEC filers to their GLEIF Legal Entity Identifier — every row carrying its evidence tier and as-of date, and the whole thing the output of a reproducible protocol → dataset run you can inspect and rerun.

Also in the open commons: GLEIF · EDGAR · NAICS

Where this is going

Two paid offers are taking shape behind the free commons. Both open through the same door.

Managed datasets

The crosswalk kept correct for you — resolved, refreshed as the sources move, delivered as a feed you can attach and query.

Hosted protocols

A pipeline worth keeping honest, run on a schedule on our infrastructure — the output lands as an always-current dataset.
