# Knife Configuration File.
#
# This is a Ruby DSL to set configuration parameters for Knife's
# general options. The default location for this file is
# ~/.chef/knife.rb. If multiple Chef repositories are used,
# per-repository configuration files can be created. A per repository
# configuration file must be .chef/knife.rb in the base directory of
# the Chef repository. For example,
#
#     ~/Development/chef-repo/.chef/knife.rb

An Open API for Links

This is a proposal / spec for a public database and API for links between related webpages, based on ideas presented in this essay. We're building a prototype at Wayfinder, and we'd like input from the community on how it should function and operate.

Goals

To build and provide an open database where anyone can easily create and query for links between related webpages. Links are used not just by curious readers but by search and recommendation engines to find and understand the relationships between content on the web. Therefore:

1. Anyone should be able to link content on the web, not just authors and publishers. Today there's no easy way to publicly specify a relationship between two webpages if you're not the original author of one of those pages. This means that the power to connect information is concentrated in a small number of hands. It doesn't have to be.
2. Links – all of them – should be accessible
