This is a placeholder document for the reiteration of Peer-to-Peer Digital Networking via modular sections in distributed version control. For example, many descriptive passages in the existing P2PDN document will be moved here as modular entries including definitions and supplementary descriptions.
That reiteration should facilitate more coordinated creative development, potentially including alternative branches or forks which are managed by different persons or groups.
The refactoring of descriptive elements into many components such as Collective Media Markup Language etc. may reduce P2PDN to a relatively compact and simple role as a unifying framework for completely sustainable p2p digital networking.
The retained role for P2PDN itself will be based mostly on the document's current verbal overview and visual overview diagram
Peer-to-Peer Digital Networking: How the Internet Should Work
(note: this prototype has been adapted from this section of P2PDN)
The following description provides a high level overview of recommended p2p networking elements, forms and processes, to eventually be illustrated by a comprehensive set of diagrams:
People socially organize as digital identities which authorize each other to receive data from and (sometimes) send data to specific signal channels, using secure p2p signaling standards for both streaming and messaging.
People simultaneously organize as viewers and editors of data storage addresses and storage locations. Storage location editors distribute viewing and editing rights to develop collective media resource items. This enables the development of complex networks of specialized addresses, including forums, which have collectively-specified participation roles such as Guests, Contributors, Members and Stewards. (See Inclusive Governance Framework.)
Inclusive design, annotation and evaluation is used to further develop collective media resources via portable and dynamically updated resource description frameworks (RDFs), which globally map public and private resource addresses via international resource identifiers (IRIs). Dynamically updated RDFs enable (a) community-defined differentiation of media resources using modular, composite and hierarchical organizing forms, and (b) flexibly user-defined sorting, filtering and searching of media resources.
Collectives develop p2p distributed computing to make each of its community-supported and portably-described media resources independent of all specific storage devices and data servers.
People link distributively-hosted collective media resources to intercollective distributed versioning systems, and relate their media more indirectly and organically to other media via associative hyperlinks and semantically linked data, including media attributes and evaluations by participants in officially related collectives.

- The derived diagram will:
- simplify person-digital identity-agent relationships
- streamline the potentially distributed relationships between agents, apps and devices
- directly relate Resource Support Framework, Inclusive Action Framework and Consent-Based Governance to shared resources including all protocols and addresses
- directly link the diagram's RDF element to Collective Resource Description Framework
- directly relate Collective Media Markup Language to the Community Media Resource Description Framework
