Project Scope
The TTF repo contains all of the artifacts for each component that can be used to create a token specification. It also contains tools and an object model that are used to create more sophisticated business level applications for various platforms to design tokens.
Artifacts are made up of a collection of files that can be viewed using a one artifact per page web app that is hosted here and requires no application infrastructure to be stood up to support.
Contributors can choose to modify the artifact’s JSON files directly or use some of the applications listed below to stand up local or hosted infrastructure that will provide access to the object model via a gRpc service.
The contents of this repo contain the Token Taxonomy Framework (TTF) comprised of the following:
- Taxonomy Overview - overview and taxonomy syntax and definitions used to create artifacts that conform to the taxonomy.
- Taxonomy Model - technical overview of the model used to interact with the taxonomy using tools or to integrate into custom applications.
- Control Messages - NEW - message based specifications used for the certification of implementations.
- Taxonomy Artifact Format - instructions and format rules for creating taxonomy artifacts.
- Artifacts - starting artifacts for base token types and a handful of common behaviors and a single behavior group. These are samples/template artifacts.
IWA Workgroup Projects
NEW This repo also contains artifacts generated by the IWA workgroup taskforces:
- Digital Measurement, Reporting and Verification - the DMRV taskforce is a part of the Voluntary Ecological Markets workgroup that is establishing standards for use in the validation and verification of ecological projects and their claims that are used in the origination process for the issuance of ecological products like voluntary carbon credits.
- The artifacts that this group has created, once approved, will be used to update the artifacts in the TTF. The artifacts are published here for review and comment by the IWA community.
