Data is published in open, linked formats so it can be queried, connected, and verified by other systems and the wider web. This supports transparency and interoperability across portals and partners. The specific schemas and integration points are documented progressively as the platform evolves. | Data is published in open, linked formats so it can be queried, connected, and verified by other systems and the wider web.

=== Decentralized Web (DWeb) alignment === | |||
WikiDeal's Structured Data layer is designed to be compatible with the broader '''Decentralized Web (DWeb)''' movement — the effort to rebuild the web on open, user-controlled, peer-to-peer foundations rather than centralized silos. Three reference initiatives guide this alignment: | |||
* '''[https://solidproject.org Solid]''' — Tim Berners-Lee's project for personal data stores ("Pods"), where each user owns their data and grants applications scoped, revocable access. WikiDeal's consent-based, decentralized data sharing follows the same principle: linked data that stays under user control. | |||
* '''[https://holochain.org Holochain]''' — an agent-centric, distributed framework where each participant keeps their own validated data and shares it peer-to-peer, without a global ledger. This matches WikiDeal's goal of consent-based track records and trust built gradually within communities, rather than through a central surveillance database. | |||
* '''DWeb / IPFS-style content addressing''' — open, verifiable, location-independent data that can be queried and connected across systems. | |||
By expressing its data as RDF / JSON-LD / Wikidata-linked resources, WikiDeal keeps the door open to interoperate with Solid Pods, Holochain agents, and other DWeb infrastructures as they mature — so the platform's information remains open, portable, and owned by its community rather than locked into a single provider. | |||
