# Infospace Bench Functional Requirements Specification V0.1 ## infospace-bench --- ## 1. System Overview infospace-bench is a **workspace and service** that enables users and systems to **create, develop, evaluate, inspect, and export structured knowledge spaces (“infospaces”)**. This FRS defines the **externally observable functional behavior** of the system. --- ## 2. Actors and Interfaces ### 2.1 Primary Actors * **User (Human Operator)** working on knowledge projects * **Automation System (`atm`)** executing workflows on infospaces * **LLM Agent (`agt`)** contributing to knowledge generation and evaluation * **External Systems** consuming outputs or interacting with infospaces --- ### 2.2 System Interfaces * Workspace/project interface (CLI and/or service interface) * Programmatic API * File system and/or service-backed storage (abstracted) --- ## 3. Functional Requirements --- ## 3.1 Infospace Lifecycle Management ### FR-001: Create Infospace **Description:** The system must allow creation of a new infospace. **Input:** * Infospace definition (name, configuration, initial parameters) **Output:** * Initialized infospace with identifier --- ### FR-002: Load Infospace The system must allow loading an existing infospace for interaction. --- ### FR-003: Update Infospace The system must allow modification of infospace configuration and content. --- ### FR-004: Delete Infospace The system must allow removal of an infospace. --- ## 3.2 Knowledge Population ### FR-010: Add Knowledge Artifacts The system must allow adding knowledge artifacts (documents, entities, or content) to an infospace. --- ### FR-011: Modify Knowledge Artifacts The system must allow modification of existing artifacts within an infospace. --- ### FR-012: Remove Knowledge Artifacts The system must allow removal of artifacts from an infospace. --- ## 3.3 Structure and Organization ### FR-020: Organize Knowledge The system must allow organizing artifacts within an infospace. --- ### FR-021: Maintain Relationships The system must allow defining and retrieving relationships between artifacts within an infospace. --- ## 3.4 Evaluation and Quality Assessment ### FR-030: Evaluate Infospace The system must allow evaluation of an infospace. **Output:** * Evaluation results (e.g. quality indicators, scores, or assessments) --- ### FR-031: Evaluate Individual Artifacts The system must allow evaluation of individual artifacts within an infospace. --- ### FR-032: Provide Evaluation Results The system must provide structured evaluation outputs that can be inspected and reused. --- ## 3.5 Inspection and Exploration ### FR-040: Inspect Infospace Structure The system must allow inspection of: * Structure * Relationships * Organization --- ### FR-041: Explore Knowledge Artifacts The system must allow exploration of artifacts and their connections. --- ### FR-042: Visualize Relationships The system must provide representations of relationships between artifacts. --- ## 3.6 Transformation and Generation ### FR-050: Apply Transformations The system must allow applying transformations to infospace content. --- ### FR-051: Generate Knowledge Artifacts The system must allow generating new artifacts based on: * Existing content * Rules/templates * AI-assisted processes --- ### FR-052: Apply Batch Operations The system must allow transformations and generation across multiple artifacts. --- ## 3.7 Workflow Execution ### FR-060: Execute Infospace Workflows The system must allow execution of workflows specific to an infospace. --- ### FR-061: Provide Workflow Results The system must provide outputs and results of workflow execution. --- ## 3.8 Export and Output ### FR-070: Export Infospace The system must allow exporting an infospace. --- ### FR-071: Export Derived Artifacts The system must allow exporting generated or transformed outputs. --- ## 3.9 AI Interaction ### FR-080: Support AI-Assisted Operations The system must allow AI agents to: * Generate content * Evaluate knowledge * Suggest modifications --- ### FR-081: Provide Context to AI The system must provide sufficient context for AI-assisted operations within an infospace. --- ## 3.10 Error Handling ### FR-090: Provide Structured Errors The system must return structured error information for invalid operations. --- ### FR-091: Avoid Silent Failures The system must not silently ignore errors affecting results. --- ## 4. Functional Constraints * All operations must be scoped to a defined infospace * Functions must operate on structured knowledge artifacts * AI-assisted operations must be optional * System must not assume ownership of lower-level tooling or system infrastructure --- ## 5. Traceability | PRD Concept | FRS Coverage | | --------------------------- | ------------- | | Infospace lifecycle | FR-001–FR-004 | | Knowledge population | FR-010–FR-012 | | Structure & relationships | FR-020–FR-021 | | Evaluation & quality | FR-030–FR-032 | | Inspection & visualization | FR-040–FR-042 | | Transformation & generation | FR-050–FR-052 | | Workflow execution | FR-060–FR-061 | | Export | FR-070–FR-071 | | AI interaction | FR-080–FR-081 | --- ## 6. Acceptance Perspective The system satisfies this FRS when: * Infospaces can be created, modified, and inspected * Knowledge artifacts can be added, transformed, and evaluated * Relationships and structure are observable * Workflows produce reproducible outputs * AI-assisted operations function with appropriate context * Errors are explicit and traceable
