# Preamble
This node is longer than the average [[Agora]] node :) It has multiple sections.
- In this subnode (this text file as a note) you'll find:
- An **abstract**, which is based on but is no longer kept close to what I delivered in early [[2022-06]] to the book editors during the chapter selection process. It is meant to be a short comprehensive stand-alone introduction. If this document or a subset of it actually gets published as a paper, this should probably work as its actual abstract.
- The actual **chapter text**, including an introduction, which is what should be 5k-10k words once ready to be delivered on [[2022-09-01]].
- In the subnode below, sourced from the [[stoa]]:
- A snapshot of the chapter outline as it was when I delivered it to editors on [[2022-07-04]] as a list of bullets.
- This is now an **independent version**, writable by any interested party; feel free to edit it in whichever direction you want to take it and use it to show what *you* think the Agora is about, or should be.
- Optionally sign your contributions as per wiki protocol :)

An Agora differs from other projects in the personal knowledge space in a few ways: whereas a **personal knowledge graph** usually contains resources authored or collected by a single person, and a **wiki** usually contains resources produced by a group, an Agora contains, integrates and interlinks both personal and group resources. Whereas links in a personal knowledge graph or wiki usually have a single target, **Agora links fan out by default** and can be thought of as mapping to sets of resources. This is consistent with the general design principle of facilitating storage and retrieval of entity-mapped information towards removing friction from cooperation.
Building on the above and a [[free software]][^reference] reference implementation of the underlying protocols and data, we model and detail how to implement a distributed system that provisions social knowledge services ethically and sustainably, upholding [[data sovereignty]] principles. We then analyze some of the potential applications of such a system. Finally, we shortly explore future work and social implications assuming that the Agora is run as a [[confederated]] system for the [[public good]].

[^reference]: The provided [[reference Agora]] tries to remain tool, format and platform agnostic**, building on general conventions common to many tools and platforms in the knowledge space for ease of integration and maximal inclusivity[^inclusivity] and diversity[^diversity].
[^node]: An Agora node contains the set of all known resources about or otherwise relevant to the entity described by the node title or any provided metadata. Each such resource is called a **subnode**. Note that because links can be arbitrarily annotated (i.e. #tagged or qualified by other nearby links) and have multiplicity, the Agora is in fact a **hypergraph**.
