Jtyypin
Jtyypin is a theoretical framework for classifying digital artifacts and data signals. It provides a common vocabulary to describe the type of an artifact, its origin, its modality, and its temporal behavior, enabling clearer metadata, interoperability, and analysis across disciplines.
Origin and etymology: The term combines a prefix J with tyypin, drawing on the root for “type”
Framework: Jtyypin uses three primary axes: origin (local, distributed, autonomous), modality (textual, numeric, multimedia, sensor), and
Applications: The framework has been applied to digital archives, data pipelines, and AI training datasets to
Criticism and status: Some critics argue that the scheme adds complexity without proportional benefit in small-scale
