A commons, not a catalog.
Mission-aligned subnetworks build, share, and govern shared context in the open — so the abundance AI creates belongs to everyone. See them, trust them, connect to them.
The subnetworks
Real public-good work already on the aDNA network — each one open, cited, and stewarded. A curated set, not an exhaustive one: it grows as aligned subnetworks join.

World Genome Academy
Genomics knowledge as a shared commons
The World Genome Academy builds genomics education and research in the open, under a five-council model — Education, Agriculture, Research, an Indigenous-data veto, and Technology — so the science is stewarded, not enclosed.

Context Commons
Agentic-context literacy, shared
A community program for agentic-context literacy and enablement — and the shared pool that forms when vaults publish their best context, patterns, and lattices for others to discover and reuse.

Wilhelm AI for the Undiagnosed
AI for people living with undiagnosed disease
The Wilhelm AI Initiative for the Undiagnosed (AI4U) — the Wilhelm Foundation's umbrella over AI initiatives for people and families living with undiagnosed disease, including the open Rare-AI Archive.

Rare Archive
Open-source rare-disease AI
Rare Archive is an open-source rare-disease AI project — the diagnosis-acceleration pillar of AI4U — governed by a five-seat steward council, with a canonical home at Wilhelm-Foundation/rare-archive.
Open governance
Connect to a subnetwork
Three paths, in increasing depth. Each one works today — no account, no waitlist.
-
Follow the work
Every card above links a subnetwork's public face and its governance vault. Read what it publishes and watch it move — the open record is the front door.
-
Federate a wrapper
Consume a subnetwork's shared context from your own vault: a wrapper directory with a
federation_refblock, the same pattern every forge consumer uses. Federation readiness covers what to check before you share back. -
Contribute
Join the work itself. The community ladder runs from vault user to standard steward, and the contribution standards spell out what a good contribution carries.
The boundary from the network holds here too: everything stays local by default. Connecting is opt-in per vault — each node decides what it shares with a subnetwork, and what never leaves the machine.
This is the whole connect surface today: the three paths above. What the commons already knows about itself — and the horizon past it — is laid out plainly in the band below.
The commons, today
There is no activity feed here yet — the open governance record is the social surface. This is what the network's registry knows about who tends each subnetwork, shown plainly, with nothing it doesn't.

Registry regenerated 2026-06-10 from the node inventory · member records last synced 2026-05-24. Honest activity, today, is exactly this: the dates above and the relationships each vault declares.
What you won't find here: contributor counts, stars, or follower numbers. The registry doesn't record them, so this page doesn't display them.
Join & steward
Language and DNA are our shared heritage. So is context — held in common, stewarded in the open, and put to work for the good of all. Bring a subnetwork, or connect to one that's already here.
