commons.id is a living archive that captures what happens at events — ideas, commitments, relationships — and gives them permanent addresses. Not another notes app. A knowledge graph that grows with every conversation.
The value loop is simple. Participants contribute naturally. AI does the structuring. Everything gets a permanent home.
Participants share text, notes, reflections, and observations during and after sessions. No special tools needed — just write what matters to you.
An extraction pipeline identifies artifacts, people, commitments, and connections. Raw contributions become structured knowledge — tagged, linked, and contextualized.
Every idea, every person, every commitment receives a permanent URL in the knowledge graph. Searchable. Linkable. Persistent. Still findable in five years.
Our first live deployment. Four days of Ethereum and public goods conversations in Boulder, Colorado — captured, structured, and preserved in real time.
ETHBoulder gets its own branded landing page, its own scoped view of the knowledge graph, and a post-event archive that outlasts the gathering itself. Every session, every idea, every commitment — addressable and persistent.
Your event could be next. Every conference generates knowledge worth keeping. We provide the infrastructure to capture it.
The domain is not just a website. It is infrastructure — a design space where events, ideas, people, and APIs each resolve to a predictable, permanent location.
The living archive itself. The story, the entry point. Everything below is reachable from here.
you are hereBrowse the knowledge graph. Explore artifacts, people, convergences. Contribute and search.
live nowA branded entry point for ETHBoulder 2026 — event details, sessions, and a gateway to the event's knowledge graph.
The platform filtered to a single event. All artifacts, sessions, and participants scoped to ETHBoulder 2026.
coming soonProgrammatic access to the knowledge graph. Query artifacts, submit observations, track commitments. The same data, structured for machines.
Partner events can run on their own subdomain. Full branding, scoped data, shared infrastructure.
for partnersEvery event gets its own namespace. Every idea gets a permanent address. The URL is the identity layer.
Built on a design framework that classifies knowledge across six dimensions: ecology, human, language, artifacts, methodology, and training. Inspired by Douglas Engelbart's augmentation framework, extended with an ecological foundation.
All coordination happens in a place. Convergences carry bioregional context — watershed, season, landscape. Place shapes what's possible.
Participants with persistent identity across events. Practitioners with embodied knowledge, relationships, and vantage points that deepen over time.
How we name things shapes what we can coordinate around. The knowledge graph schema is a shared vocabulary that gives the commons a grammar.
The durable traces of human coordination. Each artifact carries origin context, lineage, and stewards. Permanent URLs make them citable and evolvable.
Pre-event, during, post-event states. Agent orchestration roles. Stewardship practices. The rhythm of convergence and continuation.
How the system learns. Pattern recognition across convergences. Using the commons to improve the commons. You can't improve what you can't name.
Run your next event on the commons. We handle the infrastructure so your ideas outlast the gathering.
The platform is open source. Built on a practical stack, designed for extension.
