# ZenPub Federated Server

[![software by Dyne.org](https://files.dyne.org/software_by_dyne.png)](http://www.dyne.org)

## About the project

ZenPub is the core software component of [ReflowOS](https://reflowos.dyne.org) the open source hub to operate [circular economy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_economy) networks and manage material flows in a city according to the [Valueflows](https://valueflo.ws) ontology.

ZenPub is a flavour of the [CommonsPub](http://commonspub.org) software implementing [ActivityPub](http://activitypub.rocks/) and `ActivityStreams` web standards.

This is the main repository, written in Elixir (running on Erlang/OTP), it is configured to use [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org/) as storage database.

The API offers access via [GraphQL](https://graphql.org/).

## Extensions

Features are being developed in seperate namespaces in order to make the software more modular (to then be spun out into individual libraries):

- `lib/extensions/value_flows` - implementation of the [ValueFlows](https://valueflo.ws/) economic taxonomy

- `lib/activity_pub_adapter` - integration with a library that provides [ActivityPub](http://activitypub.rocks/) federation protocol.

- `lib/extensions/organisations` - Adds functionality for organisations to maintain a shared profile.

- `lib/extensions/tags` - For tagging, @ mentions, and user-maintained taxonomies of categories.

- `lib/extensions/measurements` - Various units and measures for indicating amounts (incl duration).

- `lib/extensions/locales` - Extensive schema of languages/countries/etc. The data is also open and shall be made available oustide the repo.

- `lib/extensions/geolocations` - Shared 'spatial things' database for tagging objects with a location.
