Proposal: standard.site.declaration Draft for Discussion Abstract AT Protocol provides portable identity, portable content, and portable social graphs. What it currently lacks is a standard mechanism for discovering machine-readable declarations associated with digital content. Today, creators and organisations publish declarations about digital assets through websites, registries, the C2PA provenance framework, and other systems. These declarations may describe provenance, copyright ownership...
Standard.site - One schema. Every platform.
Standard.site provides shared lexicons for long-form publishing on AT Protocol. Making content easier to discover, index, and move across the ATmosphere.

A working group that stewards a shared namespace for AT Protocol schemas: built in the open, governed collectively, and free for anyone to use.

Publishing My Eleventy Blog to the ATmosphere with Standard.site
A walkthrough of how I wired up Standard.site AT Protocol lexicons into this 11ty blog: from writing a custom publish script to migrating to Sequoia, with code for the link tags, and handle verification.

Web publishing is facing its next challenge: a new iteration of centralizing platforms. BUT there is also a new wave of open protocols and standards that can help us gain our independence. Next month in NYC we are gathering a group of frontier technologists and popular web publishers to discuss how we can sail into this next platform shift as captains. #ProtocolsForPublishers https://pfp.unternet.co

Why Don't We Just Do This Together? - AT Protocol
Jim sits down with members of the core team building and governing Standard.site, the shared Lexicon for publishing longform writing on atproto. Brooke from pckt.blog, Jared from Leaflet, and Miguel from Offprint cover the design tradeoffs in creating a new shared format, tales of data migrations, strategies for shared governance, and why you shouldn't buy a premium domain name.

Steps Towards an Infrastructure for Scholarly Synthesis
Sharing, reusing, and synthesizing knowledge is central to the research process, both individually, and with others. These core functions are not supported by our formal scholarly publishing infrastructure: instead of the smooth functioning of functional infrastructure, researchers resort to laborious ”hacks” and workarounds to ”mine” publications for what they need, and struggle to efficiently share the resulting information with others. Information scientists have proposed an alternative infrastructure based on the more appropriately granular model of a discourse graph of claims, and evidence, along with key rhetorical relationships between them. However, despite significant technical progress on standards and platforms, the predominant infrastructure remains steadfastly document-based. Drawing from infrastructure studies, we locate the current infrastructural bottlenecks in the lack of local systems that integrate discourse-centric models to augment synthesis work, from which an infrastructure for synthesis can be grown. Through 3 years of research through design and field deployment in a distributed community of hypertext notebook users, we elaborate a design vision of what can and should be built in order to grow a discourse-centric synthesis infrastructure: a thriving “installed base” of researchers authoring local, shareable discourse graphs to improve synthesis work, enhance primary research and research training, and augment collaborative research. We discuss how this design vision — and our empirical work — contributes steps towards a new infrastructure for synthesis, and increases HCI’s capacity to advance collective intelligence and solve infrastructure-level problems.
Licensing terms for data in the Atmosphere
I’d like to raise a fun and interesting topic, and that’s intellectual property and content licensing. The data that flies around the Atmosphere is all visible and public. We’re at a stage within the Atmosphere where services are beginning to grow, and we’re beginning to see lexicons and data that express creative works that extend in length beyond microblogging. I think that the Standard.site lexicons are a great example. But these creations lead to further questions. Who has permission to...

Next month in NYC we are gathering a group of frontier technologists and popular web publishers to discuss how we can sail into this next platform shift as captains. #ProtocolsForPublishers Learn more and sign up here: https://pfp.unternet.co We will be hosting talks on #atproto #mcp #webapplets and web payments, and give publishers the opportunity to interact directly with developers working on these frontier technologies. Thank you to Unternet, Graze Social, Free our Feeds, and betaworks for their support.
What if a PDS became more than a repository for posts? We propose using AT Protocol as a creator-controlled publication layer for declaration metadata describing digital works, making rights, provenance, and other trusted metadata independently verifiable and easier to discover.
