In this [[chapter]] we describe the [[Agora]], a [[protocol]] and reference [[platform]] yielding a [[knowledge commons]] provisioned by a self-governing community. This commons is bootstrapped as a [[distributed knowledge graph]] assembled from off-the-shelf components, upholding the user's [[data sovereignty]] while supporting integration with a wide range of [[tools for thought]].

The Agora as described in this article is just [[an Agora]], meaning it should be taken as a simple [[reference implementation]] of the principles delineated in this paper. Because the Agora-defining [[Agora protocol]] tries to build on common principles[^commoning] and incorporate conventions already in use at the time of writing, you will likely find that other Agoras already exist online and offline -- if not by name, then definitely in values and direction. When in doubt, the author[^author] likes to assume that all Agora-like entities we find will eventually be part of a greater [[confederated]] [[Agora network]]. Put another way, the reference Agora described here is just one possible seed from which this Agora network may grow.

A core aspect of the provided [[reference Agora]] is that its constituent [[distributed knowledge graph]] can be straightforwardly bootstrapped using just a well-defined freely-available subset of the [[internet]]. The provided software can already integrate crowdsourced sets of [[personal knowledge graphs]], [[digital gardens]], [[wikis]] and [[feeds]] (including social), meaning arbitrary repositories maintained manually or via readily available [[tools for thought]] (both open and closed in nature). All supported data sources are retrieved and integrated using [[free software]], while still supporting production and editing with arbitrary tools of the users' choice.
