Stub Manifests

This site includes “near-real” stub manifests to make Universal Manifest concrete for adopters.

These stubs intentionally include extra fields that are not yet standardized in the v0.1 context/schema (v0.1 allows unknown fields). Treat them as shape + intent fixtures, not final ontology.

Each link below opens a raw JSON-LD fixture (useful for copy/paste, diffing, and quick inspection).

What to look for (how these help adopters)

Section titled “What to look for (how these help adopters)”

Even if you ignore every optional field, you can still gain value from:

  • subject (stable identity reference)
  • TTL (issuedAt / expiresAt)
  • shards as a composition mechanism
  • pointers as “canonical lives elsewhere” references

These stubs are designed to make it easier to implement:

  • projections for different surfaces (public display vs web profile)
  • local-first consumption (cache while in use, log by @id)
  • forward compatibility (unknown field tolerance)
