💡 In simple words: WikiDeal organizes its information so computers can read and connect it easily — like labelling every box so anyone can find what is inside.
⚠️ Not yet approved. This page describes a proposal that is still under community review. It is documented here so it can be discussed, improved and endorsed.
Structured Data (Linked Data)
Innovation — WikiDeal R&D
| Origin | 🌐 Tim Berners-Lee / W3C |
| Status | Prototype 1 — In testing |
What is it?
Structured Data brings RDF, JSON-LD, and Wikidata integration throughout WikiDeal's data layer. This enables semantic interoperability, federated search, and machine-readable transparency, aligning WikiDeal with the original vision of the Semantic Web in which information is openly linked and reusable across systems.
How it works on WikiDeal
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.
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:
- 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.
- 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.
