The One Library

Philosophy

The One Library is a public service project which serves to archive and curate various resources in the public domain, which range from major historical texts to open source digital assets.

Principles

Contents

The Philosophy section of the One Library contains all of the Library's plain text written documents, including its archived texts and references for them.

The Wonders section of the One Library contains all of the Library's assets that are not plain text documents.

In addition to its digital asset archive, it also contains links to various external archives, references to external assets, and commentary on the contents of the Philosophy section.

Format

All of the written documents in the library have been mapped to the ONE and ONE+ text formats, which is where the One Library gets its name from.

ONE uses minus signs and tab indentation to separate text into a hierarchy of "blocks" without relying on any escape characters.

ONE+ is a superset of ONE which provides more ways to encode text blocks, and is thus easier to write manually.

This format allows the documents to be easily read as plain text, to clearly convey the structure of their content, and to be easily scraped by computer programs.

The documents in the library will generally follow a convention where a "Philosophy" section is used to state the overall purpose of the document, and a "Principles" section in used to contain the main content of the document.

The text of said documents will generally be wrapped at one hundred characters, assuming the width of each tab is four characters.

Spliced Content

Many of the documents in the library were originally written in languages other than English.

As such, the library will generally use the most universally respected English translations of them.

If there is no clear standard for an English translation of a given text, the library may use a custom amalgamation of various translations.

Occasionally, it may use one standard for the text itself and a different standard for the layout of the text.

Motto

The motto of the One Library is "Love of Wisdom".

Disclaimer

Some of the texts contained within the library contain sensitive and controversial content that may understandably offend some people.

The One Library does not condone any form of discrimination, hatred, violence, or supremacy.

However, the One Library does hold that even the most sinister of texts must be preserved so that we may learn from them and from their impact on history.
