-- A beginner's guide to Solid.
This glossary is intended for those with little or no previous experience with Solid. An online version is available both to humans and machines.
The glossary is a work in progress. Anyone can contribute. You can ask a question or make a suggestion in the chatroom, or by raising an Issue in this repository.
If you spot something you think needs fixing or a new term to add, you should either communicate it by one of the methods above or submit a Pull Request.
As an experiment in making contributions easier, Pull Requests should be made against glossary.md, a markdown file. Scripts turn the markdown into RDFa which can be fetched with accept Turtle or JSON-LD to produce a skos:ConceptScheme in RDF.
Don't know what 'Issue','Repository','Pull Request','RDFa','Turtle' or 'JSON-LD' are? Don't worry, we've got your back, just look in the glossary :-).
The format of the markdown should be easy to follow in glossary.md. These are the only patterns you need to know:
# Glossary Title
## Glossary Top Concept
### Note
#### License
+ Term~~ Definition
[label](href)
**text to make bold**
*text to make italic*
For example :
# Solid Glossary
### A beginners guide to Solid concepts & terms
## Decentralized Storage
+ Pod~~ a personal online/offline data storage space ... A Pod is the combination of a **storage** space and one or more WebID owners who control the space. To get a pod, try [solidcommunity.net](https://solidcommunity.net).
