The Aquifer: A Digital Platform
The Aquifer is a digital platform that gives technologists and translators who are on mission to eradicate Bible poverty easy access to openly licensed, freely available, digitally curated, trustworthy Biblical resources in many gateway languages.
The BiblioNexus Digital Product Studio designed, developed, deployed, and successfully launched the Aquifer in partnership with the ETEN Innovation Lab.
The Bible Well Mobile App
The Bible Well app taps into curated, multi-modal, multilingual Bible and biblical resources.
In partnership with the ETEN Innovation Lab, BiblioNexus initially launched the Bible Well app as a reference app for church-centric translation teams. Since then, it has evolved from a reference for Bible translators into a community resource for translators, Bible teachers, and Bible learners.
Designed to work with or without internet connections, the Bible Well app helps fill an important gap for remote communities where connectivity can be spotty or even non-existent at times.
Aquifer Content Management System
Filling the Aquifer with biblical resources and then translating them into gateway languages are daunting tasks requiring a sophisticated content management solution. Various content management systems (CMS) and translation management systems (TMS) platforms were tried, but all came with quirks and inefficiencies.
In the meantime, artificial intelligence (AI) emerged as a viable solution for generating draft translations, reducing time to translate and costs.
In partnership with the ETEN Innovation Lab, BiblioNexus designed and delivered a purpose-built CMS platform for the Aquifer - the Aquifer CMS - leveraging the benefits of AI. The Aquifer CMS has now been in production use for some time and continues to prove its worth.
Other Bible translation organizations have inquired about using Aquifer CMS on a (Software as a Service) SaaS basis, something the BiblioNexus team is currently considering as another means of spreading the Gospel around the world.
