What this makes possible
Every event exists once, with its source, ratings and links. That supports things a list cannot.
One state for every channel
Website calendar, screens, newsletter and data feed show the same entries. Nobody keeps an event up to date twice.
CalendarScreensCopyChanges arrive everywhere
When a venue moves a date, CIXTRA sees it on its next read and changes it wherever it appears.
Figures per municipality
Every entry has a place and a region. So each municipality can be counted for what it has and what it lacks, for example with the LeisureIndex.
OverviewAlertsQuestions in plain sentences
Where is something missing, what has changed? Prometheus answers with the region's figures and shows where the numbers come from.
QuestionsOwn versions without copies
Each organisation adapts titles and texts for its audience. New facts such as a changed time still reach everyone.
Sourced answers for AI
An AI assistant fetches checked entries with their sources through the data feed instead of making up dates.
Data feed
What is different from the usual way
Event data is usually typed in by hand, copied from aggregator sites or guessed by a general AI. CIXTRA works differently.
| Usually | With CIXTRA |
|---|---|
| Venues enter their dates into every portal one by one. | CIXTRA reads where the venues publish anyway. It means no extra work for them. |
| Aggregator sites show the same event several times. | Every event is one entry, however many sources write about it. |
| Nobody can see where a detail comes from. | Every detail carries its source. |
| Events sit in a flat list. | Every entry is linked to its place, region, artists, festival and genre. |
| Translation is done by hand, mostly into English only. | Every entry exists in ten languages. |
| Every organisation keeps its own copy. | Everyone shares one entry, and each organisation can adapt it for itself. |
| A general AI guesses when it does not know a date. | Answers come from checked entries, with sources. |
How several organisations share one entry
States, boards and venues work with the same entries. Each organisation sees its area and creates its own versions without changing the shared entry.
New facts such as a changed time reach everyone. Your own texts stay on top.
- Who sees what
- Each organisation sees only its area. An organisation below gets at most the area of the one above it, and every API key can narrow it further. Without access granted, an organisation sees nothing.
- Who changes what
- Only the organisation that owns the shared entry changes it. When another one writes, the change goes into its own version and the shared entry stays as it is.
- Who takes over what
- An organisation sees the versions of the organisations below it and can take one over for itself. Upwards and sideways, every version stays invisible.
Reading where venues publish anyway
CIXTRA reads the websites, ticket shops, programmes and emails of the venues, plus data that partners send through the API. Every source describes the same event differently.

Recognising what is the same event
What a source writes about an event is a listing. Every new listing runs through the same chain until it is clear: the same entry or a new one. Pick a listing and see where it gets decided.

- Search
CIXTRA looks for entries that might match, by name, place, time and spelling.
- Model
A language model compares the listing with the candidates: the same entry, a new one, or unsure.
ResultSame entry: Jazz in the CellarSame place, same time, only the title differs. - Stronger model
If the first model is unsure, a stronger model checks with more evidence.
not needed - Person
If it is still unclear, a person decides.

Enriching with ratings and ten languages
On top of the facts come ratings on fixed scales and texts in ten languages. Every generated value records when it was made.
Experience
Audience
Mood
Fixed scales from 0 to 1, so a jazz cellar and a chamber concert can be compared.
Linking instead of listing
Every entry hangs on its place, region, artists, festival, work and genre, here on real concerts in London and Austria. Ibrahim Maalouf links the two: he plays the EFG London Jazz Festival and played the Vienna Konzerthaus in March. Click a point and it moves to the centre, with everything attached to it.
