[[interlay]]: the universe of what’s available around a topic. how to deal with reputation, visibility, governance.
has the feel of a search engine. search engines were the first interlays :)
fast feedback loop, discoverability
we have stopped at the second rung of a high ladder
[[q]] if there is a governance layer, is it in the interlay? I believe so
all layers could have governance components
example: an underlay that is a star catalogue
a single collaborative dataset
social aspects
needs coordination, e.g. how to do timestamps; how to sequence observations; how to handle a variety of sensors. these all yield rules that could be interpreted as governance.
[[interlace]] is a multiverse; a superset. doesn’t have governance.
negative space for interlay
as you develop reputations, governance, integration approaches for an interlay you may run across things where a decision isn’t clear and it feels restrictive (once made) — you know that one way to address it is to fork
pun on interlays
have you thought about exchange formats / interop standards
interlay: a collection of statements with some default schema
a standard schema could be: naming a source and describing its properties
aside: catalogue like
unsure now because people that care about granular knowledge and compile huge datasets get easily distracted about format questions
better to define it in terms of a namespace perhaps
it has at least a human readable name, perhaps an autogen machine readable name
