The working explainer for a lexicons about heterogeneous collections.
𝕮 • Chris Shank (@chrisshank.me)
What do music playlists, bookmarks, photo albums, pinned locations on maps all have in common? Well, they are all types of user-curated collections. So I've written a proposal for a lexicon that handles heterogenous collections of *things*.

Taxonomy for ATmospheric Lexicon and App Directories
I kept going to pull quotes but just like, all of this. lol Something really basic like a taxonomy of concepts has the potential to skew heavily social, because at a technical level there’s almost nothing to it: you have an identity with some labels (synonyms, language-tagged strings—not sure how those’ll be implemented), you might have a definition, and then you have a handful of semantic relations, and the concept scheme class to yoke them together.

A community proposal for a `community.lexicon.download` or `community.lexicon.file` lexicon is open for discussion -- file sharing with multi-method distribution (PDS blobs, IPFS, BitTorrent). @nezumi.eurosky.social is seeking collaborators. Share your feedback on Discourse.
Purposal: General purpose File sharing / Download links lexicon?
