Public Signal Governance Principles
World Wiki Organization is built on openness and collaboration. These principles set the basic requirements of public signal governance and the responsibilities of each collaborating party.
Core principles
- Openness
- Each verified fact is published under a unique global ID, free for anyone to look up and cite. Facts that cannot be checked against a public source are not cataloged or verified.
- Collaboration
- The editorial community finds sources and catalogs signals together. Participants do not decide what is verified.
- Independence
- Verification results follow published standards and do not change with payment, identity or standing.
- Traceability
- Every result can be traced to an authoritative source and the issuer that made it.
- Correction
- Anyone can report an error. When a record changes or is wrong, the issuer corrects it under its procedures and shows its status.
Responsibilities of collaborating parties
- World Wiki Organization
- Develops and publishes the standards and registers issuers. It does not make verification decisions.
- Issuers
- Verify specific facts under the standards, publish credentials and are accountable for the results.
- Citing parties
- Cite records under the Public Citation Standard and rely on the status shown on the credential page.
