This is a parallel version, writable by any; feel free to edit it in whichever direction you want to take it. # Abstract - In this chapter we describe an **Agora**, being a **social knowledge graph** provisioned and maintained by a community as a [commons](https://anagora.org/commons). The Agora differs from other projects in the 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 and integrates both personal and group resources and interlinks them liberally. 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. Finally, **the reference Agora tries to remain tool, format and platform agnostic**, trying to build first on general conventions common to many tools and platforms in the knowledge space for maximal inclusivity and diversity.
