Standards
Standards publications document open specifications developed within the Search Sciences™ programme and maintained by independent standards bodies. These specifications define the formal technical and governance requirements through which the programme’s architectural principles are implemented across digital systems.
Where research papers examine structural conditions and position papers advance argued governance positions, standards define the precise constraints, conformance requirements, and implementation rules that translate those arguments into enforceable protocol and notation governance.
SHAMIL™: A Structured Notation Standard for Knowledge Graph Entity Representation
Open Standard
A Search Sciences™ open notation standard for knowledge graph entity representation — providing a human-readable, mnemonic grammar for encoding entity nodes with deterministic conversion to JSON-LD 1.1, RDF, and SHACL, grounded in the Islamic Golden Age intellectual tradition of Al-Farabi, Imam Al-Bukhari, Al-Khwarizmi, and Ibn al-Haytham.
The Verified Source Protocol: Formal Definition and Constraint Model for Authoritative Information Representation
Open Standard
A Search Sciences™ normative specification defining the minimal conditions under which an information-producing entity may be represented as authoritative in AI-mediated digital systems — governing provenance, semantic determinism, auditability, and kinetic claims through five axioms, five constraints, and a clear conformance framework grounded in the Islamic Golden Age intellectual tradition.
