PROJECT FRAME
Brief, context and operating frame in one place.
This section gathers the brief, constraints, outcomes and public evidence into one readable project frame.
Art and craft practices are distributed across people, workshops, institutions, materials, places and documents. V6 will explore how those relationships can be mapped and managed without flattening their context.
- Preserve the context and provenance of mapped practices.
- Do not present the platform as a live service before it is available.
- Keep V6 distinct from the future VASTE product it helps to test.
- A future art and craft mapping and CRM platform.
- An applied VASTE test context.

The problem this project addresses.
Build a future art and craft mapping platform with CRM-oriented workflows as an applied test context for VASTE.
Why this system needs to exist.
Art and craft practices are distributed across people, workshops, institutions, materials, places and documents. V6 will explore how those relationships can be mapped and managed without flattening their context.
How the work is structured.

PROJECT THESIS
Detailed reading notes.
Position
V6 is a future platform for mapping art and craft practices and developing CRM-oriented workflows. It is being prepared as an applied test context for VASTE, with domains and social presences reserved ahead of activation.
Platform thesis
The platform will treat relationships, practices, materials, people and places as connected context rather than disconnected records. Mapping and CRM workflows will be explored as one coherent system.
Applied VASTE research
V6 is intended to test VASTE in an art and craft context: addressable entities, typed relationships, contextual identity, permissions, events and public projections. It is a research application, not evidence of a released VASTE product.
Development status
V6 is in development with a target horizon of 2027. Its public presence, interfaces and access conditions will activate through documented releases. Until then, the record describes an intended platform and its research role, not a live service.

Foundational Lineage
IIIF
Vestiges can integrate with IIIF for compound cultural object presentation and annotation-aware viewing.
Knowledge Graph
V6 is intended to test knowledge-graph principles for art, craft, institutions, techniques and CRM-oriented public surfaces.
Ontology
Vestiges applies ontology design to people, techniques, materials, institutions and cultural relations.
Graph Modeling
Vestiges applies graph modeling to cultural knowledge and human know-how.
Domain Operating System
Vestiges explores a domain operating system for cultural knowledge, contribution and exchange.
