folder resource facet

A mesh when stored in a filesystem is physically structured with mesh folders, which correspond to RDF resources and their intramesh identifier

When a mesh gets published, the folders also correspond to identifier.

All folder-based resources should contain a mesh resource page

Types

System Folders

Node Handle Folders

Flow (Abstract Dataset) Folders

Snapshot (Concrete Dataset) System Folders

  • _default/

  • Snapshot folders (format: YYYY-MM-DD_HHMM_SS_vN/, e.g., 2025-11-24_0142_07_v1/, 2025-11-24_0142_08_v2/, …)

    • snapshot folders that represent snapshot
    • each holds one or more distribution file
    • Fully terminal—neither user-nodes nor system-folders may live inside.

Snapshot User Folders

Other User Folders

  • _assets/
    • Holds static user assets (images, CSS, binaries).
    • Always terminal - never contains nodes
    • Ignored by the mesh scanner; asset trees carry no flows; any metadata about assets should live in the parent node’s meta flow.
