Core Concepts
How YounndAI Domains works — architecture, resolution, registry, and trust.
This section explains the architecture behind YounndAI Domains — from how schemas are resolved to how trust is established.
The Three Layers
YounndAI Domains operates across three architectural layers:
- Grammar (YON) — The structural format. Defines how data is expressed.
- Vocabulary (Domains) — The semantic layer. Defines what data means.
- Registry (API) — The distribution layer. Serves schemas on demand.
ℹ️Note
Each layer is independent. You can use Domains without YON, or YON without Domains. But when combined, zero-integration interoperability emerges.
