The Fractally Unified Network Knowledgesphere(FUNK) is a dynamic, distributed, scalable information environment where humans and programs can collaborate on exchanging, processing and storing information. This site hosts the specifications for FUNK(see the sidebar) along with pointers to open source implementations.
Fractally - All information in FUNK from the simplist data item to the most complex enterprise entity shares the same structure as FUNK itself.
Unified - FUNK’s self-similar fractal form brings together disparate data formats and programming languages so that programs and data can be shared across the various information environments(operating systems, operating environments, applications, namespaces) found in computing.
Network - FUNK supports most popular network protocols.
Knowledgesphere - FUNK is an evolving ecosystem in which the information elements which make up knowledge are produced, consumed and recycled by human beings and their agent programs.
