Presentationso

Presentationso is a fictional open-standard and software ecosystem for creating, sharing, and rendering presentations. It envisions a data-driven approach that separates content from layout, with the goal of improving interoperability across tools and platforms. The term is used here to illustrate how a wiki-style article might summarize a technology concept.

Core concept is a slide manifest written in a structured format such as JSON or YAML, which defines slides, components, and data bindings. A rendering engine applies a theme and layout to produce output suitable for web, print, or video. Accessibility features are emphasized, including semantic markup and keyboard navigation.

History and status: Presentationso was proposed in a fictional consortium in 2023 as a response to fragmentation in presentation software. As a conceptual project, it has no single official implementation, but several reference tools in the narrative ecosystem demonstrate how manifests, templates, and plugins could interoperate.

Features include templates and components for text, images, charts, and media; data binding to external sources; collaboration with versioning; offline mode and export options to HTML slides, PDF, and video formats; and an optional plugin API to extend functionality.

Usage and reception: in this fictional context, educators, researchers, and designers use Presentationso to share reusable slide assets and to publish interactive decks. Critics note that without widespread adoption an ecosystem cannot mature, and that tooling complexity may hinder entry.
