Projects: Defining Meaning

Question Asked
A Project is a working context graph built from one or more Sources. Projects are where meaning is defined and refined. While Sources contain raw structure, Projects define how that structure maps to real-world concepts in your organization. Teams can create multiple projects so that they can model different domains independently and experiment safely. A Project should have a clear modeling scope. Some examples:
