Description: Standards and measurement guidance for interoperable storage, data contracts, and benchmarking in an incident intelligence / ChatOps platform.

Repository description

This repository is a standards and decision package for an open, vendor-neutral incident intelligence / ChatOps platform. It defines storage contexts, data contracts, service interfaces, and benchmark methodology for evaluating portability, performance, and governance across the stack.

Metadata summary

Key	Summary
Repository role	Canonical standards source for storage, contracts, and benchmark methodology in SocioProphet platform workstreams.
Primary outputs	Normative standards (docs/standards), benchmark guidance (docs/benchmarks), workload definitions (benchmarks/workloads), and ADRs (adr).
Contract formats	Avro (events), Arrow/Parquet (analytics), JSON-LD (semantic/provenance overlays).
Interface standards	TritRPC service interfaces and event bus topic conventions.
Decision posture	Vendor-neutral defaults with workload-driven adoption gates for vector and graph systems.
Governance intent	Reproducible measurement, portability, and security-first interoperability across contexts.

We treat the platform as a set of contexts (event stream, incident state, artifacts, search, vectors, graphs, metrics) and we standardize:

• Data contracts: Avro for event contracts; Arrow + Parquet for analytic payloads; JSON-LD for semantic/provenance overlays.
• Interfaces: TritRPC (typed RPC) for service calls; event bus topics for asynchronous flows.
• Execution: Beam for batch/stream transforms; Ray for training/serving/task placement.
• Storage portfolio: Postgres as system-of-record; OpenSearch for text; optional vector/graph stores based on measured workload triggers.
• Measurement: a benchmark harness with 30 defined workloads (latency/throughput/cost/recovery).

Repository map

• docs/standards/ — normative standards (MUST/SHOULD/MAY language)
• docs/standards/governance/ — governance-oriented standards and operating controls, including the governed CSO partnership execution pack
• docs/benchmarks/ — benchmark methodology and reporting format
• docs/fips/ — FIPS 140-2/140-3 governance framework (standards authority, activation plan, roadmap)
• benchmarks/workloads/ — workload definitions (YAML)
• benchmarks/harness/ — harness scaffold (drivers to implement)
• adr/ — Architecture Decision Records (templates + initial decisions)
• schemas/ — schema placeholders for Avro/Arrow/JSON-LD contexts
• ops/ — deployment conventions (placeholders)
• SECURITY.md — security policy and reporting guidance
• LICENSE — Apache-2.0 license

Governance surfaces

• GOVERNANCE.md — root entry point for governance-oriented standards and operating controls
• docs/standards/governance/README.md — governance standards index
• docs/standards/governance/cso-partnerships/README.md — governed CSO partnership execution pack

Status

• Initial scaffold created: 2026-01-08
• FIPS 140-2/140-3 governance framework added: 2026-Q2 (see docs/fips/)
• Next: implement benchmark harness code + populate schema directories with v1 contracts.

Graph Layer

This repo now includes the Graph Store Abstraction standard (RDF/SPARQL, property graph, and AtomSpace-style hypergraph) plus a dedicated graph benchmark workload suite.

FIPS 140-2/140-3 Compliance

This repository is the standards authority for FIPS 140-2/140-3 and NIST compliance across the SocioProphet platform. The FIPS/NIST standards are in docs/standards/ (files 090–095).

Cross-Repository Governance

Standards in this repository cross-reference implementations in the following repositories:

Standard	Implementation Location
090-fips-nist-compliance.md	SocioProphet/sociosphere/auth/oidc.py, SocioProphet/sociosphere/vault/vault-config.hcl
091-nist-800-53-control-mappings.md	All 28 control implementations listed per-control with repo paths
092-zero-trust-nist-800-207.md	SocioProphet/sociosphere/mesh/, SocioProphet/sociosphere/k8s/network-policies/
093-forensic-audit-nist-800-88.md	SocioProphet/sociosphere/observability/audit-pipeline.yaml
094-data-layer-fips-compliance.md	SocioProphet/postgres, SocioProphet/mongo, SocioProphet/elasticsearch, SocioProphet/redis, SocioProphet/minio, SocioProphet/rocksdb
095-orchestration-fips-compliance.md	SocioProphet/sociosphere/k8s/, SocioProphet/sociosphere/vault/, SocioProphet/sociosphere/mesh/

Implementation repositories that consume these standards MUST add a "Complies with Standards" section to their README, linking back to specific standard documents (bidirectional cross-reference requirement).
