THE FOUNDATIONAL PKL REFERENCE
A public record of what PKL is—and what it intends to become
The PKL Core Document brings the project’s central thinking into one place. It explains the identity, purpose and principles of the Public Knowledge Ledger: a system designed to make claims, evidence, provenance, disagreement and review easier to inspect.
PKL is not intended to tell people what to believe. It is intended to make the structure behind knowledge visible.
What this document covers
- The problem PKL is trying to solve
- Its claim, evidence and provenance model
- The role of transparent review and disagreement
- The principles that should guide governance and growth
- The long-term public-benefit vision
This is the best starting point for collaborators, reviewers, researchers and anyone who wants to understand PKL beyond a short description. It is a living statement of intent rather than a claim that every difficult question has already been answered.
