structured data prototype for algotecture protocol / api adaptation

what is this?

This repo contains an example how algotecture could define interactions between user-agents (web-browser, bot, web-service, etc.) in a interoperable way.

Currently this is all a work in progress and not much is fleshed out yet.

goal

I tried to replicate in general the format of algotecture.io, (example but using hardcoded jsonld files, so it can be read by more than just user-agents that know this api.

Using a http server written in node.js (koa) which currently only serves static files, can be used to extend this prototype further.

how to use this

  1. clone this repository
  2. install node.js (recommended using node version manager by running (once nvm install) and nvm use in this folder
  3. install dependencies by running npm install in server/ folder
  4. start the server by running npm start
  5. Visit local server for hardcoded example: http://localhost:3000/piazza-lago.jsonld

development

If you want to develop this further I recommend to use it in a reload on save fashion to get fast feedback.

  1. Install nodemon: npm i -g nodemon
  2. Run dev script npm run dev

Questions to solve for an actual implementation:

  • ownership identifiers (do we use wallets or any identification service to be referenced? solid / openid connect? specific blockchains / ledgers?)
  • identifiers for Places / SubspaceId (scheme prefix "algotecture://abcd#123" vs RESTful Ids "http://service:1234", or something like ipfs:// ?)
