Seednotes
Small, connected concepts: a definition, an example, a common misconception, and where to read more. Each Seednote opens with its glossary definition, word for word, and then goes further.
Atlas
The proposed explorer of federated Semantic Spaces.
Federation
Independently operated Semantic Spaces connected by shared identity and resolution.
Identity lifecycle
The registry status of an RID: active, deprecated, superseded, retired, or reserved.
Identity Record
The durable registry record of one RID’s registration, lifecycle, naming, provenance, and authoritative bindings.
Identity Registry
Preserves identity, namespace allocation, authority, historical mappings, and lifecycle information.
Issuance authority
A registered issuer permitted to issue identities within a delegated namespace.
Locus
The proposed engine that serves authoritative resource knowledge for Semantic Spaces.
Prefix
The registered issuance namespace at the start of an RID.
Provenance
The recorded origin and history of an identity, a name, or an assertion: who did what, under which authority, and when.
Resolver
Connects identifiers to verified, policy-permitted identity information and available representations.
RID
The permanent canonical identifier of one resource referent.
RRN
A registered, structured name that maps to exactly one RID.
RSM ID
The universal identity infrastructure of RSM, governed by RSM Core.
RSN
A specialized RRN, of kind “space”, that identifies a Semantic Space.
Semantic Space
An independently governed logical knowledge environment, with its own RID and RSN.
