Typed links, edge metadata, and link syntax

Pages with this tag

Framework crosswalks

1

How frameworks map to each other — specific crosswalk tables, column mapping strategies, and matching methods.

Link metadata syntax specification

2

Complete specification of the typed-link syntax — wrapping styles, link types, regex patterns, and the two-tier priority system.

Link metadata system

3

The theoretical foundation for typed links with edge metadata in Obsidian — how relationships between notes can carry structured data. Also known as edge metadata, typed link system, inline field metadata, or evidence-link edge model.

Challenge 07: Link metadata / edge model for evidence mapping (archived)

4

Design the edge metadata model for evidence→framework implementation links — the "other" edge type Crosswalker has to support that's NOT a crosswalk. Bases-compatible storage, custom or inherited schema, reviewer attribution, status transitions. RESOLVED 2026-04-10, archived 2026-05-01.

Challenge 08: Is git history a tenable compliance audit trail?

5

The 04-10 evidence-link synthesis assumed git history (with signed commits, branch protection, and periodic external snapshots) is a sufficient audit trail for evidence-link state changes. Stress-test that assumption against actual compliance audit-evidence standards, legal admissibility frameworks, and how mature GRC tools handle the same problem.

Challenge 13: Modern attestation primitives (Sigstore, in-toto, SLSA, OpenTimestamps, VCs)

6

Narrower follow-on to Challenge 08. Evaluate the modern attestation stack — Sigstore for federated signing, in-toto for review attestations, SLSA for supply-chain framing, OpenTimestamps as alternative/complement to RFC 3161, W3C Verifiable Credentials for the qualified-person certification — and recommend whether these subsume, complement, or are skipped vs Challenge 08's TSA + WORM + cert-export Tier 1 plan.

Challenge 15: Audit-trail alternatives that don't require external git tooling (archived)

7

Ch 08 + Ch 13 audit-trail stack assumes git + a remote (GitHub/GitLab/etc.) — a hard assumption in air-gapped, locked-down enterprise, or government environments. RESOLVED 2026-05-02 — see callout.

Evidence-link edge model synthesis — junction notes as the committed architecture

8

Distilling 2 research sessions directly targeted at Challenge 07 (the link metadata / edge model for evidence mapping). Both converge strongly on junction notes (edge-as-note reification) as the only architecture compatible with Obsidian Bases' flat-YAML constraint, with a concrete 13-field schema validated against 8 GRC tools and OSCAL round-trip.

Foundation commitments and follow-on research — pairwise+pivot, junction-notes-by-tier, StewardshipProfile, meta-schema lifecycle

9

Decisions made 2026-05-01 after re-reading the morning orientation log and the Challenge 06 research deliverable. Commits the pairwise + optional-pivot hybrid (Challenge 06 resolution); ties junction-note feasibility to tier; renames EvolutionPattern → StewardshipProfile; introduces the schema-marketplace direction; commits that every Crosswalker-internal schema is versioned and migration-aware (Crosswalker eats its own dog food); spins up three new research challenges (git-history audit-trail tenability, UUID/CWUUID strategy, graph→tabular bridging engine).

Ch 08 deliverable: Is git history a tenable compliance audit trail?

10

Fresh-agent research deliverable for Challenge 08. Recommends augmenting bare git with three Tier 1 hardening layers: RFC 3161 trusted timestamps, S3 Object Lock WORM mirror, FRE 902(13) qualified-person certification export. Reaffirm git substrate; do not replace.

SKOS

11

Simple Knowledge Organization System — the W3C mapping vocabulary that every modern crosswalk standard builds from, but that our research found insufficient for compliance crosswalking on its own.

SSSOM

12

Simple Standard for Sharing Ontological Mappings — the edge metadata model that extends SKOS with mandatory provenance, confidence, and negation support.
