Audience Cross-Links

FCC v1.3.10 adopts a 9-audience canonical taxonomy. Each audience has its own landing directory under docs/for-<audience>/; most topics are relevant to multiple audiences, so the matrix below gives each audience their primary anchor plus pointers to related material that may serve a different perspective on the same topic.

The 9 canonical audiences

  1. For Beginners — first-time users, students, sceptics
  2. For Developers — engineers integrating FCC into applications
  3. For Educators — teachers designing FCC-based curricula
  4. For Scientists — researchers using FCC for structured inquiry
  5. For Architects — technical leaders making platform decisions
  6. For Operators — SRE, DevOps, and platform teams running FCC
  7. For Auditors — internal, external, and regulatory reviewers
  8. For Knowledge Engineers — ontology, KG, and RAG specialists
  9. For Data Architects — object-model, vocabulary, and federation specialists

Migration notice

Two legacy audience directories are deprecated in v1.3.10 and will be removed in v1.5.0. Use the migration notices for the complete redirection table.

Audience relationships

The diagram below sketches how the nine audiences relate to each other. Every audience has at least two neighbours on the graph — most readers will traverse the graph rather than stopping at a single node.
