Pletka - Semantic Patterns

Weaving the Semantic WebWe Deserve

GitHub for Semantic Models

Pletka enables communities to build, document, and share explicit semantic data patterns. From conceptual modelling to data generation — one platform.

The Problem with Meaning

Knowledge depends on shared references and patterns — common ways of describing things so that others can understand and reuse them.

Digital systems fragment these patterns into silos. Standards like CIDOC CRM, Dublin Core, and Schema.org exist, but implementing them in practice is hard and isolating.

Shared meaning requires shared, explicit patterns — and the tools to build them together.

What Pletka Does

Documentation-First Patterns

Build explicit, reusable semantic data patterns that are fully documented and shareable. Every pattern carries its own context.

Standards Made Practical

Smooth implementation of CIDOC CRM, EDM, NFDI, and related ontologies. No more wrestling with specs in isolation.

Collective Pattern Building

Communities define, maintain, and evolve shared semantic models together. Patterns grow through collaboration, not committee.

How It Works

Pletka organizes semantic knowledge into composable layers — from atomic units to complete, shareable packages.

Fields

Atomic semantic units — the smallest building blocks

Collections

Grouped patterns — vocabularies and taxonomies

Models

Complex structures — classes, entities, and relationships

Weaves

Complete, shareable packages — ready for the world

"Pletka" means weave in Bulgarian — every pattern is a thread in a larger fabric of meaning.

Who It's For

Cultural Heritage

Museums, archives, and libraries building interoperable metadata systems.

Historical Research

Research communities modelling complex historical data with shared standards.

Digital Humanities

Projects needing structured, documented semantic patterns for scholarly data.

Any Domain

Adaptable to any field needing structured, interoperable, and well-documented data.

Built in the Open

Pletka is open source because shared meaning should never be locked away. The platform, the patterns, and the community — all in the open.
