THE PROPRIETARY PUBLIC-AUTHORITY MAP
MAP THE MACHINE.
The Civic Graph is a living, source-linked model of public authority across North America.
It connects public offices, representatives, jurisdictions, committees, meetings, agenda items, legislative measures, notices, decisions and recorded institutional activity over time.
Not merely a directory
A list tells you who holds office. A graph tells you how power moves.
The Civic Graph is designed to answer:
- Which institution has authority?
- Which committee reviewed the issue?
- Which representatives are involved?
- Which official sources changed?
- What decision comes next?
- Which locality is affected?
- What earlier decisions are connected?
- Which Civic Agents should be notified?
The public facts are only the starting material.
The value lies in entity resolution, relationships, change detection, provenance, classification and history.
What the Civic Graph contains
The graph can connect:
- countries;
- provinces and states;
- municipalities and regional bodies;
- electoral and administrative districts;
- public offices;
- officeholders;
- councils and legislatures;
- committees and agencies;
- meetings;
- agenda items;
- legislation and bylaws;
- permits and notices;
- institutional votes;
- public consultations;
- source documents;
- issue categories;
- historical changes.
What it does not map
Public authority—not private lives.
The Civic Graph is not intended to collect:
- private family information;
- personal residential addresses;
- private financial information;
- medical information;
- irrelevant social activity;
- unverified gossip;
- personal data unrelated to public office or institutional action.
Every material relationship should be connected to a public source or clearly labelled analytical inference.
