accord
Machine-readable rights, cultural protocols, and consent operating as programmable policy.
ledger
Append-only global ledger sharded by jurisdiction and mirrored into Guardian Nodes.
guardian

runtime
Sovereign Runtime loop engine that automates registration, monitoring, and enforcement.
What this gives you
- 01Describe datasets, owners, storage locations, and refresh cadence in a canonical manifest.
- 02Bind Accord policies that govern AI training, civic re-use, and downstream obligations.
- 03Mirror passports into Guardian Nodes so labs and cities can verify instantly.
- 04Expose shareable passport APIs so partners can confirm custody without manual workflows.
Implementation path
- 01
Define the dataset & steward
Create or link an institutional identity, describe the dataset contract, schema, refresh cadence, and custodians.
POST /api/v1/identity for the steward; include governance metadata + contact handles.
- 02
Register storage + Accord policy
Point to storage (S3, GCS, IPFS, on-prem), capture checksums per shard, and express Accord policies for AI, civic, or commercial usage.
Use POST /api/v1/passport with type=dataset and include accordRules + storage URIs.
- 03
Publish the dataset passport & telemetry
Anchor the passport to the ledger, mirror to Guardian Nodes, and expose a Passport share link or API for labs to verify.
Call POST /api/v1/guardian/reports to broadcast, or embed the Explorer widget.
