Dao Data
Structured data hub for the Dao knowledge base — the machine-readable layer behind the knowledge graph.
This site documents entities, relationships, sources and schemas. Data files live
in the main repository under src/data/ (concepts.json, practices.json,
relationships.json, sources.json); authored entities live in the content
collections (texts/, people/, translations/, timeline/, questions/).

Evidence discipline
Every record carries an evidence class. Practitioner reports are never conflated with scientific evidence; legends are never presented as history.
