## Introduction ## 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]]**, being four things:
- a [[protocol]].
- a set of [[data exchange formats]].
- a reference [[free software]] implementation of the preceding.
- a **social knowledge graph** provisioned and maintained by a community as a [commons](https://anagora.org/commons) using all of the above.
- An Agora is designed to be a minimum viable cooperative platform that integrates and complements both [[personal knowledge graphs]] and [[social networks]]. - An Agora is designed to be a minimum viable cooperative platform that integrates and complements both [[personal knowledge graphs]] and [[social networks]].

- 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 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.
- While 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]. - While 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].
- As of the time of writing, personal knowledge graph tools are exploring collaborative editing in format- and platform-specific ways. In contrast to this, **the reference Agora tries to be tool, format and platform agnostic** to maximize interoperability and data exchange. This is achieved by targeting a minimum viable set of cross-tool conventions. - As of the time of writing, personal knowledge graph tools are exploring collaborative editing in format- and platform-specific ways.
