Network-Based Graph Model (NBGM) Specification

Overview

vantage-point defines the Network-Based Graph Model (NBGM): a generic, versioned protocol for exploring dependency structures as graph models, unifying entity/relationship inspection and reasoning across arbitrary domains. It is specification-stage only — a real, versioned spec document exists, but no reference implementation has been built yet.

Assessment notes

Discovery

SCOPE.md documents the core idea clearly (unifying entity/relationship inspection across domains); note README.md is a stale repo-seed template leftover — SCOPE.md is authoritative. A substantial draft protocol spec (nbgm-spec-v0.1.md, per docs/) exists.

Availability

Specification-stage only; no implementation code found in this sweep (docs/ and registry/ and workplans/ only, no src/ or package manifest).

Completeness

First-pass honest assessment from the REUSE-WP-0017 coverage campaign (reuse-surface). No external consumer feedback exists yet; levels reflect scope-vs-intent documentation quality, not internal code quality.

Reliability

No production consumer telemetry exists yet; reliability level is intentionally conservative pending REUSE-WP-0019 reuse-telemetry evidence.

Promotion checklist

• ID follows capability.<domain>.<name> pattern
• Maturity enums match specs/CapabilityMaturityStandard.md
• external_evidence is populated separately from maturity
• Relations reference valid capability IDs (none yet)
• Index entry added in registry/indexes/capabilities.yaml
