REPÈRES

Definition, sources and useful limits.

Start here for the practical frame: what the page covers, what it leaves aside and which references support it.

Principles

Framework commitments

  1. Keep the canonical page readable as static HTML.
  2. Use CSS and small browser scripts to enrich the interface without hiding the content model.
  3. Prefer reusable partials, generated pages and progressive enhancement over a heavy runtime.
  4. Keep public showcases inspectable, portable and easy to archive.

Limitations

Known constraints

  1. It is not a general-purpose application framework.
  2. It is intended for static surfaces, editorial systems, prototypes and compact public interfaces.
  3. Larger products may still need a dedicated runtime, API layer or application framework.

Role

Electronic Artefacts Lightweight Template is the small front-end framework used by the studio to assemble fast, inspectable web surfaces. It favours static HTML, reusable partials, bundled CSS and focused browser JavaScript rather than a heavy client-side application shell.

Use on this site

This public Electronic Artefacts website is composed in part with the framework. The canonical content comes from typed records and generated HTML, while the framework layer shapes navigation, layout, interface behaviours, search surfaces, language switching and progressive enhancements.

The point is not to present the framework as a separate commercial platform. It is the lightweight composition layer behind parts of the site itself: a practical system for making editorial, research and showcase pages feel coherent without turning every page into a full web application.

Principles

Boundaries

The framework is deliberately small. It does not replace VASTE, Forge or any larger Electronic Artefacts runtime. It also does not claim to be the right foundation for every product. Its role is narrower: compose lightweight public surfaces where HTML, CSS and JavaScript are enough.
