## Introduction
|

|
||||
- In this chapter we describe an **Agora**, a **social knowledge graph** provisioned and maintained by a community as a [commons](https://anagora.org/commons).
|

- In this chapter we describe an **[[Agora]]**, a **social knowledge graph** provisioned and maintained by a community as a [commons](https://anagora.org/commons).
|
||||
- An Agora is designed to be a minimum viable cooperative platform that integrates and complements both [[personal knowledge graphs]] and [[social networks]].
|
||||
- An Agora stands out from other projects in the [[knowledge graph]] space in a few ways:
|
||||
- Whereas links in a personal knowledge graph or wiki usually have a single target (note, page), **Agora links fan out by default**; targets can be thought of [[collections]] of resources.
|
||||
- Whereas a **personal knowledge graph** usually contains resources and links authored or collected by a single person, and a **wiki** usually contains resources provisioned by a group in (a priori) a shared voice, an Agora tries to integrate and interlink both personal and group resources while preserving distinct voices[^chorus].
|
||||
- Whereas (as of the time of writing) several personal knowledge graph tools are exploring collaborative editing in tool-specific ways, **the reference Agora tries to be tool, format and platform agnostic** as much as possible to maximize interoperability and data exchange and thus targets what is believed to be a minimum viable set of conventions.
|
||||
- This [[chapter]] describes a set of [[conventions]], [[protocols]], and [[contracts]] that can be said to define an Agora.
|

- This [[chapter]] describes a [[protocol]] and a set of [[conventions]] and [[contracts]] that can be said to define an Agora.
|
||||
- It also covers a work-in-progress reference implementation developed as free software built on those.
|
||||
- Its guiding architectural principle being to build as much as possible on already existing conventions common to as many tools and platforms as it is possible with the aim to achieve maximal inclusivity and diversity.
|
||||
- Finally, we cover potential applications of a network built around such a platform in the [[knowledge]] and [[social]] domains in the form of short exploratory essays.
