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.
LicençaSoftware: 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 (Ferramenta): Base de, Construído sobre, Fala o protocolo, Armazena em
OrigensGroupware 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
Banco de DadosHolochain (a distributed hash table, with each group's data held in its members' own cells)
Linguagem de ConsultaA Tool may define a search function accepting plain text or a semantic-tree regular expression
Formatos de DadosAsset 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
Edição Colaborativa em Tempo RealN/A — a linking and discovery pattern; editing behaviour belongs to each Tool
Edição de Texto RicoN/A — a linking and discovery pattern; editing behaviour belongs to each Tool
Suporte MóvelNot stated by the project (the Moss downloads the site lists are desktop builds)
Suporte Web Not stated by the project.
Aplicativos NativosMoss desktop apps for macOS, Linux and Windows
TermosFree and open source; Moss is CAL-1.0, website content CC BY-SA 4.0; licences of the WIP APIs are not stated

Baseado EmHolochain
Compatibilidade com a Web Semântica Not stated by the project (no RDF, JSON-LD or SPARQL mentioned in the cited sources).
Maturidade / Padronização do ProtocoloEmerging pattern, no formal specification; developer documentation under construction
Tipo de Vocabulário / OntologiaAsset Identifier and Asset Semantic Tree schemas; Weave Asset Locators; renderer, search and notification definitions that a Tool declares
Padrão de UsoEmbedded in applications: Tools are Holochain apps that run inside a Weave frame, of which Moss is the reference implementation
