The NVO987 Decentralized Research Infrastructure paper presents the concept and architecture of a modular research system built on the open web, integrating decentralized identity, semantic knowledge representation and machine-readable research environments into a unified digital infrastructure.
]]>The NVO987 domain infrastructure is an integrated, modular research framework that unites decentralized identity, knowledge representation, and machine-processable research environments.
The system implements a unified architecture on the open web, where identity, data provenance, scholarly publication, and automated knowledge processing function as an interoperable ecosystem.
Unlike a traditional website, NVO987 is a distributed infrastructure composed of specialized subdomains.
Publications, datasets, experiments, and conceptual models are interconnected into a continuously expanding machine-readable knowledge graph.
The root domain acts as a conceptual interface representing the entire infrastructure.
]]>The technical description of the decentralized identity architecture is available on a separate documentation page.
]]>The infrastructure operates through a hybrid architecture combining Web2 and Web3 technologies.
The Web2 layer provides stable access to publications and research materials.
The Web3 layer integrates decentralized identity and ENS systems.

This identifier provides a cryptographically verifiable root for identity authentication, public key management and metadata.
]]>The infrastructure supports verifiable credentials linked to did:web:identity.nvo987.us.
The system connects to ActivityPub-based decentralized networks.
