Atomic Data

Semantic & Data Protocols

Modular specification for sharing, modifying, and modeling graph data combining the ease of use of JSON, the connectivity of RDF (linked data), and the reliability of type-safety. A strict subset of RDF with built-in schema validation via Atomic Schema (Classes, Properties, Datatypes). Uses links (URLs) to connect pieces of data, making it easier to connect datasets even across separate machines. Extended modules cover Commits (signed state changes with version history), Agents (authentication via public/private keys), Collections (querying/filtering/sorting), Hierarchies (authorization), WebSockets (real-time updates), and file management

Semantic & Data Protocol Atributos

Protocol Maturity / Standardization Proprietary Open Standard (published specification at docs.atomicdata.dev; developed by Ontola/Joep Meindertsma)
Vocabulary / Ontology Type General-purpose / Graph database and linked data; Atomic Schema provides type-safe ontology with Classes, Properties, and Datatypes; built-in Ontology Editor in AtomicServer for creating and sharing custom data models
Usage Pattern Standalone (AtomicServer as graph database + headless CMS + all-in-one workspace) + embedded (atomic-lib Rust library, @tomic/lib JavaScript library for building apps); use cases include headless CMS, personal data store, e-commerce, surveys, verifiable credentials, data catalogs, education, food labels
