Documentation Completeness by Phase

Phase 1: Formal Specification (Q1 2026) - 30% Complete

Documentation: ✓ Complete (100%) - ✓ Philosophical framework (PHILOSOPHY, VISION-BLINDSPOT) - ✓ Technical specifications (CONCEPT, ARCHITECTURE, BACKENDS, JGD-SQL) - ✓ Practical guides (CARTOGRAPHY, ROADMAP) - ✓ Academic paper (ARXIV-POSITION-PAPER)

Implementation: Not Started (0%) - [ ] EBNF grammar - [ ] Idris2 type system - [ ] SHACL shapes - [ ] JSON-LD context - [ ] OWL ontology

Phase 2-6: Future Phases - Documentation Planned

Roadmap provides complete plan. Implementation to follow.

Documentation Quality Standards

All documentation follows these standards:

✓ SPDX headers: All files have SPDX-License-Identifier: CC-BY-SA-4.0 ✓ Author attribution: Jonathan D.A. Jewell <j.d.a.jewell@open.ac.uk> ✓ Cross-references: Documents link to each other appropriately ✓ AsciiDoc format: Consistent formatting, table of contents where appropriate ✓ Terminology consistency: D_p, D_n, JGD, verisim, Zone 1/2/3 used consistently ✓ Examples included: Turtle, SQL, code snippets throughout ✓ Academic rigor: Citations, references, related work acknowledged

Next Steps

Immediate (1-2 weeks): 1. Review ARXIV-POSITION-PAPER.adoc for any final edits 2. Convert to PDF for arXiv submission 3. Submit to arXiv (cs.DB, cs.AI, cs.LO, cs.DL) 4. Share on social media, HN, Reddit 5. Announce in relevant academic/professional communities

Short-term (1-2 months): 1. Begin Phase 1 implementation (EBNF, Idris2, SHACL) 2. Recruit collaborators (category theory, dependent types, semantic web) 3. Create example D_p instances 4. Set up specification website

Medium-term (6-12 months): 1. Complete Phase 1-2 (formal spec, homoiconic containers) 2. verisim integration prototype 3. Prepare full technical paper for ISWC 2027 4. Launch community forum
