v0.1.0 — Working Draft (Request for Comments)
First public working draft of the SIGNET Canonical Data Model — the open standard for governed procurement networks, stewarded by Concert Foundation. Licensed CC0 1.0.
This is a draft published for community review. Field-level definitions illustrate the model's shape and are not yet frozen.
What's in v0.1.0
- Foundation layer: Identifier, Party, Value, Period, Classification, Item, Credential, Document, Provenance, Score
- Process layer (initial): SourcingEvent, Submission, Policy
- Agent layer: SyntheticAgent, Mandate, Decision — synthetic agents as first-class, governed, accountable participants

@contextaligning to ePO, PROV, and W3C VC - Closed and open codelists (CSV), worked examples, and CI validation
Notes
- The JSON Schema is the source of truth. Where prose and schema disagree, the schema wins.
- Targets JSON Schema Draft-07 for tooling compatibility; a move to 2020-12 will be considered before v1.0.
- Profiles and bridges to OCDS, EN 16931, UBL/Peppol BIS, W3C VC/DID, and the EU eProcurement Ontology.
