The publication rule
Everything important should exist as a permanent, citable webpage. Every webpage should also have a machine-readable representation.
One body of knowledge, published twice
Full webpages
Glossaries, concepts, documentation and research are published in full at stable URLs—not hidden inside ZIP files.
Semantic representations
Pages embed or link to JSON-LD, RDF, Turtle, JSON and CSV representations of the same underlying resources.
Traceable releases
Definitions, identifiers, provenance and changes are published through explicit releases rather than silently overwritten.
