Approach
We begin with a specific interoperability, legal, technical, or institutional problem and try to reduce it to the smallest claim that can be tested.
Existing standards and systems are treated as constraints, not blank space. New layers are added only when the surviving problem cannot be represented cleanly by what already exists.
Publication discipline
Experimental work is labeled experimental. A passing internal test is not presented as independent adoption, and semantic discovery is not presented as authorization, legal entitlement, trust, or successful execution.
Current work
The Institute’s first public experimental semantic is Appeal, a purpose identity for discovering an affordance used to request review or reconsideration of a prior decision.
Organization
