Published RDF vocabularies for Aleph Garden, a personal semantic-web platform: your data as RDF in a store you own, queried federatively, rendered through Fresnel-style lenses.
Terms are minted under https://w3id.org/aleph/ and never under an
application's own domain, so an implementation may move and an identity may
not. This repository is the current serving location behind those permanent
identifiers, not the identifiers themselves — always cite the w3id.org form.
Places concepts in a walkable world, connects them, routes through them, and schedules their review. RDFS carries the taxonomy, SHACL carries the conditions; there is deliberately no OWL, because open-world semantics describes rather than constrains.

The shapes are the write contract rather than documentation: a store that validates against them will reject a malformed write, and clients are expected to treat their own checks as advisory.
Experimental — do not build on this yet. The garden vocabulary is a working draft: terms may be renamed or removed outright, not merely added, and the model is still moving.
The w3id.org identifiers are permanent; the documents behind them are not.
Redirects stay 302 until the vocabulary is declared stable.
CC BY 4.0. Each vocabulary also
carries its licence and creator as dcterms: triples, so the terms travel with
the document rather than with this repository.
Referencing the terms — writing garden:PlaceCard into your own graph — is not
redistribution and needs no attribution. Attribution applies when you share the
vocabulary itself: copying a document, deriving another vocabulary from it, or
publishing it onward. In that case name the title, the author, a link to the
source, and the licence:
