Protocol identifier
ArchivePub v1
This URI identifies version 1 of ArchivePub, the
federation wire format used by Artist Alley. It appears as the
@context of every activity envelope the software sends.

"@context": "https://artist-alley.org/protocol/v1",
"type": "aa:Share",
"id": "...",
"actor": "...",
"published": "..."
}What it is
ArchivePub is the ActivityPub data model extended for asset sharing, workflow state, and access-controlled brand workspaces. Artist Alley ships the reference implementation, but the specification is open and any tool may implement it.
Stability
This identifier is permanent. Envelopes carrying it have
already been delivered to and stored by peers, so it will continue to
resolve. Additive changes that would alter the meaning of existing terms
require a new version at a new URI (/protocol/v2); this one
will not be repointed.
Read the specification
The full envelope format, activity types, delivery model, and signature requirements are documented in the specification.
