In this [[paper]] we describe an **Agora**, a [[social knowledge graph]] provisioned and maintained by a self-governing community as a [commons](https://anagora.org/commons).
The Agora [[knowledge graph]] can be defined as a **hypergraph** `A` with a set of `k` **nodes** `N`[^node] (entities an Agora knows about) integrated out of **subnodes** `SN_0 .. SN_k` containing **subedges** `SE_0 .. SE_k`, aggregating into **edges** `E_0 .. E_k` (semantic links between entities inferred out of known subnodes). Edges are annotated implicitly by link context and explicitly via the application of [[agora protocol]], which is extensible.

SN_k` containing **subedges** `SE_0 .. SE_k`, aggregating into **edges** `E_0 .. E_k` (semantic links between entities inferred out of known subnodes). Edges are annotated implicitly by link context and explicitly via the use of [[agora protocol]], which is extensible and tries to build on existing conventions in the [[personal knowledge management]] space.
The 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 a general design criterion of facilitating the storage and retrieval of information and removing friction from cooperation.
Building on the above and [[free software]][^reference], we model and detail how to implement a distributed system that provisions social knowledge services ethically and sustainably respecting [[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**.

## Introduction
An Agora can be bootstrapped by a self-governing community on a subset of the [[internet]]: [[digital gardens]], [[wikis]] and [[social networks]] as federated and integrated using [[free software]].
The Agora has multiple facets which we will explore in the following pages in order:
An Agora is a knowledge graph bootstrapped by a self-governing community using a subset of the [[internet]]: crowdsourced [[digital gardens]], [[wikis]] and [[social network]] posts as federated and integrated using [[free software]].
- It is a high level [[protocol]] for information exchange and cooperation, mostly based on existing conventions.
- #pull [[Agora Protocol]]
- The parent block is a demonstration of the text-based protocol that, in an Agora, will result in the entity mentioned being transcluded ("pulled", brought into the current context) after the current resource.

This is consistent with the general design principle of facilitating storage and retrieval of entity-mapped information towards removing friction from cooperation.
