Node

• an action.
  • To contribute to a node in the Agora.
    • TLDR for the Agora: If you volunteered a note called node.md (case insensitive) to this Agora, it would show up here with mine.
    • In an Agora, each contribution named after a node or tagged with it is a subnode of the node by default.
• a thing.
  • You are currently in a node.
    • The Agora is about nodes and edges -- the connections they have, explicitly labeled, modelling how the nodes are related.
    • This text you're reading is a subnode of node 'node' in this Agora; meaning it is a resource (a file) named after it, and thus assumed by the Agora to be about it or relevant to it.
    • An agora node is a crowdsourced set of resources page on a topic or entity.
      • #push agora rfcs
        • being nodes, subnodes should have their own subnodes.
        • they currently don't; the Agora models one level only. but that could change.
    • Nodes and edges are the heart of the agora, which is, I believe, in essence a commons built upon a distributed knowledge graph.
      • A node maps to a wikilink or #hashtag.
      • Nodes are sets that contain subnodes volunteered by different users and tracked as sources.
      • Subnodes are currently plain Markdown notes stored somewhere on the internet.
      • Sources are those available through an agora client.
    • If you just got here from Twitter, consider agora twitter integration.
