Open framework specifications

Retyping tends to drop details that identify the deposit. Each deposited title carries trademark marks and a full subtitle, and those elements tell the specific deposit apart. Copying the citation string as printed keeps author, year, deposited title, repository and DOI link in one fixed form, with nothing lost or altered along the way.

Cite the deposited title. A shorter working name, such as DLN or WGS, is shown as the heading, and the full deposited title appears underneath it, reproduced verbatim from the Zenodo record. Keeping the two separate means a reader can always match your citation to the exact DOI record.

Check the DOI. Each deposit has its own persistent DOI on Zenodo, for example 10.5281/zenodo.22843346 for Decision Ladder Navigation, and the deposited title with its full subtitle identifies the specific deposit. Matching both the DOI and the verbatim title removes any doubt about which record is meant.

Cite through the DOI or the copied string. Every deposit is registered against a single ORCID identifier, 0009-0007-7906-5091, so the works resolve to one author. Citation managers that import from the DOI pick up the identifier automatically, which keeps all the frameworks attached to Danh Nolan.

The fixed citation form has five elements in a set order: author, year, the deposited title, the repository and the DOI link. Every entry uses the same form, so citations stay consistent across frameworks and a reader can resolve any of them directly from the DOI.

Date order also works as a reading order. Each framework builds on the vocabulary of the ones deposited before it, so reading from the first deposit forward introduces terms like the Orient, Choose, Prove, Rate, Act stages before later specifications rely on them.

Not all of them. Some frameworks have a full specification site on the domain, and the rest are published as the Zenodo deposit alone. For those deposit-only works, the DOI is the primary reference, so cite and link the DOI when no specification page exists.

Use the contact page, which covers permissions beyond the license, corrections to a deposited record and research collaboration. Every deposit is authored by Danh Nolan, and background on the author and the work is on the about page.

The open framework specifications by Danh Nolan are a set of frameworks deposited on Zenodo, each with a persistent DOI and published under CC BY 4.0. They cover information architecture, prompt engineering, SEO, conversion copy, GA4 event tracking and entity governance, with each title reproduced exactly as deposited.

To cite a Danh Nolan framework, copy its citation string as printed in the publications index. The fixed form gives author, year, deposited title, repository and DOI link. Retyping the title risks losing the trademark marks and full subtitle that identify the specific Zenodo deposit.

Yes, the Danh Nolan frameworks are free to apply in commercial work, client engagements and internal architecture, with no permission required. Each framework is published under CC BY 4.0, so attribution is expected: name the framework and its author, and link either to its specification page or to its Zenodo DOI.

Decision Ladder Navigation (DLN) orders a site's URLs along five rungs, Orient, Choose, Prove, Rate and Act, so every page hands the reader one next step. Single Intent URL Mapping Specification (SIUM-1) locks every canonical URL to exactly one primary search intent, decided by the agreement of the top ten results.
