NextGraph Framework

NextGraph is an open source ecosystem that provides solutions for end-users (a platform) and software developers (a framework), wishing to use or create decentralized apps featuring: real-time collaboration, peer to peer communication with end-to-end encryption, local-first, portable and interoperable data, total ownership of data and software, security and privacy. Centered on repositories containing semantic data (RDF), rich text, and structured data formats like JSON, synced between peers belonging to permissioned groups of users, it offers strong eventual consistency, thanks to the use of CRDTs. Documents can be linked together, signed, shared with others, queried using the SPARQL language and organized into sites and containers. Using our framework, SDK and APIs, developers will be able to create standalone or embedded apps that can make capability-based access requests on the user's data, define smart-contracts and implement any business logic within cross-document transactions. With NextGraph, users and apps can securely access and traverse their authenticated data graph (web of data) and social graph (social network), while enabling resilience and data integrity, and preserving privacy and decentralization.
