History

WordLift was founded in Rome in 2017 by Andrea Volpini, David Riccitelli, and other partners, and its plugin was developed using the results of European Union's research and development projects Interactive Knowledge Stack (IKS) and Media in Context (MICO). Both projects were co-funded by the European Union and aimed at developing open source semantic technologies.[8] WordLift aids content writing on the web by enriching it with structured metadata that increases the PageRank of website pages.[9] In March 2017 WordLift has created a partnership with WooRank, a Belgian a company specialising in digital marketing, thus obtaining a 200.000 euro grant.[4][10][5]
