MeaningGraphDrafting
An open registry for logical data models and semantic definitions — domain concepts, entities, and vocabularies, with optional links between structure and meaning.
Why
Systems need both structural data definitions and shared domain meaning. MeaningGraph brings logical data models, entities, concepts, and vocabularies into one open registry. Models can stand alone; annotations linking model members to semantic definitions are optional.
Connects to
MeaningGraph is being developed alongside DataTug and DALgo. Logical model definitions can use the ModelSpec format and may optionally reference shared semantic definitions.
What it makes possible
Reusable logical models and shared semantic definitions that heterogeneous data sources can reference without requiring semantic annotations on every model.
