About OUDEA
OUDEA provides a governed architecture for publishing, discovering, exchanging, and processing structured data without dependence on a central platform. Domains act as schema authorities, while federated data rooms and implementations enable interoperable exchange.
Core principles
Domain authority
Domains define canonical namespaces, schemas, and publication points.
Structured interoperability
Data is exchanged using shared schemas and machine-readable contracts.
Federated infrastructure
Independent systems can host, exchange, and process OUDEA-compatible data.
Open implementations
Anyone may build software implementing OUDEA, while the specification remains canonical.
Documentation
The normative OUDEA specification is published under
/spec/.
Human-readable schema and implementation materials may be published
separately under OUDEA domains and repositories.
The first reference implementation of OUDEA is bytEM.
Alpha status
This site is the alpha publication environment for OUDEA. Structure, terminology, and specification content are still evolving.
