Referonbased
Referonbased is a theoretical framework and design paradigm within information science and computing that centers around referons—discrete referential units that encode references to objects, data fragments, or concepts. A referon-based system organizes information by connecting referons through structured relationships, enabling dynamic referencing and modular composition of data.
Core concepts include referon identity, referon metadata, and referon graphs. Each referon carries an identifier and
Implementation considerations include schema design for referon definitions, storage of referon graphs in graph databases or
Applications span knowledge graphs, semantic search, data integration, content management, and distributed systems. By making references
Challenges include the need for standardization of referon schemas, potential overhead from maintaining referon metadata, and
