โฆ MeshData
schema.org for micron
A search result marked โฆ schema declares MeshData, a tiny, invisible way
for a NomadNet page to tell a crawler what it is. Beacon rewards it: a
well-described page ranks higher and gets a real description in results.
How it works
MeshData rides micron's comment lines (every client discards them), marked
with a sentinel, so it adds no visible clutter and no extra fetch. A page
puts a small block at the top:
# +type: article
# +title: The managed-stability illusion
# +author: The Mild Take
# +date: 2026-05-29
# +description: Why calm authoritarian states carry fat tails.
# +tags: skew, institutions, methodology
The description is what a search engine shows as the result snippet: the
meta equivalent for the mesh. Types mirror schema.org / Dublin Core:
article, news, index, wiki, profile, service, dataset, and more.
Why rank it higher
A page that describes itself is easier to categorize, summarize, and trust.
Beacon's ranking multiplies text relevance by a MeshData bonus and by node
trust, so declaring your schema is the cheapest way to rank better, and it
makes your pages searchable the way you intend.
Adopt it
MeshData is FOSS and language-agnostic; the key: valuelines are the
whole format, and the reference eshdatapackage (parse / emit / infer) is one
implementation.
