Webring & Community Mesh meets Knowledge Graph
Entities in Constellations
- Topics: i.e. domains of interests
- Content: i.e. articles and videos.
- Projects: i.e. events, repositories
- Resources: i.e. event spaces, sponsors
- Simulations: i.e. Simulate the Universe simulations
Notes
- Private Layer: most contacts cannot be shared, so constellations can manage them to be private in-organization or just for you, see Constella Telescope
- Repositories: each repository can store several Community Mesh. add your own mesh to your constellations tool.
- Schema: there is a standard JSON schema-based data format for constellations.
- Start with a no-code MVP: using Creatorsgarten Wiki, MediaWiki, Airtable or Google Sheets as a backend.
- Code names: Community Mesh, Star Map, Star Charts, Community Graph, Constellations
Dynamic Loading of Layers
- As the user zooms in to the graph, we dynamically load each layers.
- Creatorsgarten Universe: main repository of constellations.
- Layer 1: domains/tags/topics
- Layer 2: organizations/communities/groups/working groups (WG)
- Layer 3: people, project, assets, resources, venues
- Layer 4: articles, blogs, simulations
Visual Moodboard
- As the Community Mesh looks like a "constellation" of stars. It might be easier to visualize that way.
- Use graphics inspired by ADHD alien to represent stars
Discord Bot
- Can integrate with GartenBot somehow?
- Federates projects, people and working group invitations across servers. Helps to federate discord servers.
- Invitation and search commands, e.g.
/invite @Traffy, works across verified channels. - Helps to find implementors for open models e.g. Hack Vax. Tech Thaiban seems to be interested
Integrating Cluster.wiki with Constellations
- Cluster.wiki can provide information into Constella's network, and also pull information from it.
Integrating Open Source Ring and Sitegraph with Constellations
- Constellations can pull information from the Open Source Ring, also from sites using the Sitegraph Protocol
Integrating Simulate the Universe with Constellations
- Simulate the Universe simulations can make use of constellations.
- Stores and visualizes the graph of simulations in Totality Editor.
- Not only used for simulations, but also for visualizations (e.g. learning LeetCode), learning 3D rendering, learning programming concepts or web development.
Integrating EventKit with Constellations
- Bonfires can utilize data from Constellations for organizing events, by resolving assets from templates.
- Concept art for EventKit and Constellation integration is in Notability
Federated supergraph and proxying
- Federated supergraph with repositories, i.e. using GitOps
- Providing caching proxies for federation for main repositories.
- Add repositories to constellations, then resolve them on client-side. Use server-side caching proxies when available.
Notes
- Common principles and core values across communities indicates the concepts for loaders and exposing an API interface for external services, where they are not using Constellations-native APIs (unlike Contentsgarten).
