    abstract =  {This document defines a common vocabulary for describing Web4 systems: federated, sovereign-entity-capable network architectures that extend prior generations of the Web with machine-native comprehension and conformance evaluation. It establishes baseline terminology intended for reference by subsequent Web4 specifications, including but not limited to {[}JACOBS-MEC{]}, and is written to be independently useful to any implementer or evaluator working with Web4-class systems, regardless of underlying implementation.},
