An approach to group software built from small, linkable units of social context, with the Weave Interaction Pattern (WIP) as its open standard for creating, searching, linking and organising them across groupware tools. The WIP is a set of conventions on top of Holochain: assets and their identifiers and semantic trees, Weave Asset Locators (a Holochain resource locator plus an asset identifier) that let one tool point at another's data, renderer types a tool must provide, search and discovery functions, notification definitions, and shared group services. It is not a formal specification today: the project says it is deliberately not writing a hard spec yet, and the developer documentation is marked as under construction. Moss is its reference runtime.
LicenciaSoftware: Moss (the reference runtime) is CAL-1.0 per its README; licences for the WIP documentation's APIs and tooling are not stated in the cited sources. Website content: CC BY-SA 4.0. https://github.com/lightningrodlabs/moss

Holochain (Herramienta): Base de, Construido sobre, Habla el protocolo, Almacena en
OrígenesGroupware that works without central infrastructure: members keep ownership of their data, tools can be added to the ecosystem, and search spans all of a member's groups; the pattern emerged from building a distributed groupware platform rather than from a prior specification
Base de DatosHolochain (a distributed hash table, with each group's data held in its members' own cells)
Lenguaje de ConsultaA Tool may define a search function accepting plain text or a semantic-tree regular expression
Formatos de DatosAsset Identifier and Asset Semantic Tree schemas; Weave Asset Locators (a Holochain resource locator plus an asset identifier); weave-0.15:// URLs; JSON Tool and Curation lists
Edición Colaborativa en VivoN/A — a linking and discovery pattern; editing behaviour belongs to each Tool
Edición de Texto EnriquecidoN/A — a linking and discovery pattern; editing behaviour belongs to each Tool

Tipo de Vocabulario / OntologíaAsset Identifier and Asset Semantic Tree schemas; Weave Asset Locators; renderer, search and notification definitions that a Tool declares
Patrón de UsoEmbedded in applications: Tools are Holochain apps that run inside a Weave frame, of which Moss is the reference implementation
