ggskap

ggskap is a term used primarily in online discussions to denote a speculative framework for organizing and sharing general knowledge. In these uses, ggskap envisions a modular platform that combines a knowledge graph with collaborative editing, designed to accommodate diverse domains and community governance.

Its core components typically described include a modular data model with nodes and relationships; user roles and governance mechanisms; licensing and attribution rules; search and discovery tools; and interfaces for content creation, review, and curation. Content types may include articles, datasets, tutorials, and case studies.

Etymology is not standardized; the term is sometimes treated as an acronym or a portmanteau of general knowledge sharing platform. In some discussions, ggskap is presented as a thought experiment rather than a deployed system.

Because ggskap does not refer to a specific, widely adopted project, there is limited formal history or adoption data. It is discussed mainly in theoretical or speculative contexts about knowledge sharing and community governance, and is often cited to illustrate challenges of scalability, quality control, and interoperability in collaborative knowledge bases.
