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). 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 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 and integrates both personal and group resources and actively interlinks them. 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 and integrates both personal and group resources and actively interlinks them. While 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 retrieval and storing of information and removing friction from cooperation.
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.
While 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. Building on the above and [[free software]], we model and implement a distributed system that provisions social knowledge services.
**The provided [[free software]] 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]. This Agora is run as a [[confederated]] system for [[public good]]. **The provided [[free software]] 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].

The free and open source reference Agora provides a minimum viable implementation of the [underlay](https://anagora.org/underlay), **interlay**, **overlay** components of a **distributed knowledge graph** based on off-the-shelf components. Individual Agora instances are expected to **federate** and organize into a greater **Agora network**. We describe how this network can integrate with the wider internet ecosystem and how it could be used to run experiments on distributed thought.
