Logseq/Entity/Organization

• Organization

  • In this garden, Organization pages model non-company bodies tracked as first-class pages, including standards organizations, foundations, nonprofits, public institutions, consortia, professional associations, and governance or community bodies.

  • Examples in this garden

    • IETF - standards organization for Internet protocols and related technical documents.

  • When we treat something as an organization

    • Strong signals: official nonprofit, foundation, standards body, public institution, consortium, working group host, professional association, or other durable public/community body.
    • Prefer company when the subject is a commercial vendor, product firm, startup, consulting company, or brand tracked because it ships or sells products and services.
    • Prefer person when the subject is an individual maintainer or author.

  • How to name the main page for an organization

    • Prefer a short top-level name when it is stable and recognizable, such as IETF.
    • Alternate names, full names, legal names, acronyms, and former names go in alias:: only when codekiln asks for them, per My/AI/Rule/Logseq/No Aliases Unless Asked.

  • Finding and deduplicating

    • Check in this order: exact page name, exact alias, official domain, acronym or full-name variants, then page-body mentions of the same site, public role, or description. Classify as: existing, similar, new, or blocked.

  • Relationship to company

    • Use organization for non-commercial standards, public-interest, community, foundation, government, or institutional bodies.
    • Use company for commercial vendors and brands. If a body has both a commercial arm and a foundation/community arm, model the page according to the entity the note is actually about.

  • Frontmatter

    • To mark a page as an organization instance, add logseq-entity:: [[Logseq/Entity/Organization]] in frontmatter. The type page then gets backlinks to all organization pages.
    • Shared frontmatter conventions live on Logseq/Frontmatter.

  • Page shape

    • File: pages/<OrganizationName>.md for the short name. First block: H1 with a link to the official site or primary public presence.
    • Keep the page lean: what it is, what work it is known for, and notable structure or relationships.
