- Proposal
- THE FIRST LIBRARY OF ASGARDIA
- Vision
- We will build the world`s first orbital library. Located in space. We start on Earth.
- Purpose
- Constitution of Asgardia Chapter 2 Article 14.3 (Scientific Resources):
- "Asgardia shall accumulate intellectual resources by digitising and storing the wealth of human knowledge in space."
- The Body of Knowledge
- The library shall foster a body of knowledge that encourages the use of Asgardia`s resources to incorporate Asgardia`s supreme values.
- In this spirit, entries in the library shall be categorized according to the two dimensions defined by the Constitution Chapter 2 Article 4 (Asgardia`s Supreme Values) and Chapter 4 (Asgardian Resources).
- Additional categories may be introduced as needed, if they do not fall into any existing one. The classification scheme will be documented as a standard and continuously updated.
- Organisation
- The library could be set up in partnership and collaboration with Civic Asgardia or the Ministry of information and communication.
- Librarians and subject matter experts will actively gather and curate information resources around thematic collections, and catalogue incoming information resources provided by Asgardian citizens.
- Technical experts will design and implement the technical infrastructure of the library.
- The implementation of the roadmap should take place as a project in collaboration with Civic.Asgardia.
- Technical Platform
- The technical infrastructure should be integrated with and accessible from Asgardia.com website and authentication & authorisation mechanisms.
- The design should be modular, lightweight, and distributed, so that future instances of the library can easily be implemented and moved across space, even interplanetary.
- It was proposed that files could be text, pdf or similar e-reader defaults.
- Roadmap for version 1
- - Document first draft of classification scheme as outlined above
