Christian Nyffenegger
Christian Nyffenegger is Founder & CEO of Link Genetic GmbH (Switzerland / US), a technology venture dedicated to long-term digital reference integrity.
He focuses on solving link rot and content drift through:
• LinkManager – automated detection and remediation of broken or drifting hyperlinks
• LinkID – a persistent, resolver-based identifier infrastructure for durable digital references
His work sits at the intersection of PDF technology, semantic metadata, persistent identifiers, and knowledge preservation.
Christian is particularly interested in contributing to discussions around:
• Persistent referencing within ISO 32000-compliant PDFs
• Semantic enrichment and metadata layers
• Long-term archival integrity
• Cross-ecosystem identifier interoperability (DOI, ARK, domain-based resolvers)
Through Link Genetic, he aims to strengthen the reliability and durability of digital documents in research, enterprise, and public-interest infrastructures.
