# Draft Content ## ***TEMPORARY NOTE: All content for Xalgorithms website launch to be triaged here!*** ### Please see [[Social Media Workflow]] before drafting. --- **Special Category - Thread for a 'pinned post' RE new version of the paper** --- 1/ Introducing the #Data With Direction Specification (#DWDS) v0.9.0. The definitive @Xalgorithms resource. #DataWithDirection #DWD #RulesasData #RaD #InternetofRules #IoR https://xalgorithms.org/white-paper --- 2/ DWDS #RuleSchema is a concise #data model at the core of the Data With Direction specification. #DWDS DWDS #RuleMaker, #RuleTaker and #RuleReserve are the three functional parts of a data-processing pipeline for sifting out IS + RULE --> OUGHT relations. @Xalgorithms Alliance participants are creating three reference implementations (developer / operator / modeller) on distinct platforms. https://doi.org/10.1109/TVCG.2016.2603178 --- 3/ [a] The world lacked a scalable and efficient way to communicate obligation, permission or encouragement from 'rule-makers' (including you) to 'rule-takers' (including you). #DWDS 4/ [b] We noticed that data expressing MUST, MAY and SHOULD, their various negatives and synonyms, comprise comprises a class of data with intrinsic directionality. These terms even have their own standards: https://tools.ietf.org/html/bcp14 https://www.iso.org/sites/directives/current/part2/index.xhtml#_idTextAnchor078 #DWDS [c] So we optimized designed a way for data-with-direction to be discovered and transmitted over the Internet in a form directly usable by non-specialized humans and machines, for any purpose, in any language. #DWDS --- 4/ #DWDS enables a wide diversity of potential use cases. Early collaborations involve undertakings include cross-border trade, @Xalgo4Trade, monetary system integrity (#ERA), and dynamic indexed pricing, etc. All The various use cases and together with the functional components together constitute an emergent #InternetofRules -- a name proposed by @jrpotvin in 2016 https://vimeo.com/173809271 --- 5/ Potvin, J.
