- Rename manuspec to paperspec everywhere outside pixi.toml: prose, the tools, provenance tool names and the fixture key derivations, so every fixture and vector is rebuilt. - Move the namespace addresses under the site, mirroring the repository: schema $id https://paperspec.scient.ing/schemas/<file>, the JSON-LD context https://paperspec.scient.ing/context/scienting-1.jsonld, and term IRIs https://paperspec.scient.ing/vocab#<term>. Format identifiers (scienting-*) and URNs (urn:scienting:) are unchanged. - tools/site.py (standard library only) builds _site/: every file of the repository at its own path, each Markdown file rendered as a page with sidebar navigation, heading anchors matching the forge's, folder listings, a vocabulary page for the context's IRIs, a heading search and a 404 page; light and dark themes. - check.py builds the site and checks that every Markdown file has a page, every internal link and fragment resolves, no Markdown is left unrendered, and every $id, the context address and the vocabulary IRIs are files of the site. - deploy/: a Caddyfile with the media types and CORS the data needs, and a guide; .gitea/workflows/site.yml builds on main and publishes with rsync when the SITE_* secrets are set.

The paperspec specification
This specification states exactly what each paperspec file holds and how every value in it is computed. The schemas, SQL, JSON-LD context, registries, vectors and fixtures are normative too, and each chapter says which of them it relies on. A chapter and a vector that disagree signal a bug, so please report it in the repository, https://git.scient.ing/infra/paperspec.
Two readers will get the most from it: implementers who build a reader, writer, converter or checker, and experts who want the precise rules. Newcomers should start with the guides, which explain what the formats are for. This text assumes you know why and tells you how.
Reading paths
Find the row for the job you are doing and read its chapters after those in the first row. Chapter numbers are those in the table below.
| If you are writing | Read |
|---|---|
| Anything at all | 0, 1, 3, 4 and 5: introduction, conventions, nodes, identity and the content values. |
| A reader of packages | Then 2, 6, 7 and 12: the model, anchors, geometry and the package. |
| A converter | Then 9, 10 and 11: figures and tables, references, and corrections with the gate. |
| A store or a server | Then 8, 13 and 14: receipts, the database form, and rights. |
| A writer or reader of annotation, teaching or data files | Then 15 to 21. |
| A validator | Chapter 22, with registry/rules.json. |
