# Tim Berners-Lee & the Semantic Web — the trace table

*Source: <https://influences.sgit.ai/register/semantic-web/trace/index.html>*

| Pattern from the anchor | Where the estate implements it | Version | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Machine-readable meaning as the target — a graph a machine can act on rather than a document it can only parse | The estate's graph substrate and the concept document that sets out its thinking | v0.4.0 | implemented |
| Meaning attached to nodes (RDF's typed-resource model) | **Deliberately inverted.** The estate derives meaning from edges instead, and the concept document states the inversion as a correction rather than a variation | v0.4.0 | absent |
| Meaning derived from connection between things | The edge-first graph model the estate's ontology work is built on | v0.4.0 | implemented |
| Personal data under the person's own control (Solid pods) | Encrypted vaults, keyed by their holder — compared to pods explicitly, as complementary architectures with different threat models | v0.6.17 | partial |
| Interoperation with Solid itself — a vault that can read or write a pod | Nowhere. The brief is an architectural comparison, not an integration | v0.6.17 | absent |

Row sources:

- Machine-readable meaning as the target — a graph a machine can act on rather than a document it can only parse — `v0_4_0__thinking-in-graphs.md`, cited in 02__ §T3
- Meaning attached to nodes (RDF's typed-resource model) — `v0_4_0__thinking-in-graphs.md`, the *Insight (and Mistake)* section
- Meaning derived from connection between things — `v0_4_0__thinking-in-graphs.md`
- Personal data under the person's own control (Solid pods) — `v0.6.17__architecture__solid-protocol-integration-complementary-architectures.md`
- Interoperation with Solid itself — a vault that can read or write a pod — the same brief, which scopes itself as a comparison
