The Agentic Dataset mark

A bounded object with one controlled opening. The outer square is the boundary, the break in its top edge is the single admitted path, and the inner square is the dataset. It is the whole model in two shapes: a boundary, and the one way through it.

The mark belongs to the Agentic Dataset programme, not to this repository alone. Implementations, papers and packages in the programme use the same mark; they do not each get their own.

Using it

Two shapes, no text, no gradient, monochrome. Keep it that way.

  • Give it clear space of at least the width of the inner square on every side.
  • Do not recolour it into a gradient, add an outline, rotate it, or place it on a busy background. It inherits text colour; that is the intended mechanism.
  • Below about 16 px the opening closes and the mark stops meaning anything. Use a word instead.
  • The opening is the point. Do not close it, and do not move it to another edge — a gap on the right edge reads as the letter C, which is why it is on top.
  • Where transparency is not an option — a GitHub avatar composites onto the page and a black-on-transparent mark disappears in dark themes — use the white-ground raster above. A flat ground is not a recolour: the mark itself is unchanged, and it carries the clear space of this section baked in.

Licensing — read this, it is not the same as the rest of the repository

The mark is not covered by the CC BY 4.0 licence that covers this repository's documentation, nor by any other licence in ../LICENSE.md. All rights reserved.

That is deliberate, and it is the opposite of everything else here. The specification is CC BY, the vectors are CC0, the conformance software is Apache-2.0 — all chosen so anyone can implement the contract, commercially or not, without asking. An identifier has to work the other way round. A mark anyone may modify identifies nothing, and this project specifically may want "conforms to AD-001 … AD-015" to mean something one day. A freely adaptable logo would foreclose that.

You may, without asking:

  • use the unmodified mark to refer to the Agentic Dataset programme, this repository, or its packages — in articles, slides, documentation and talks;
  • state that your implementation conforms, or does not conform, to the specification, in words.

Please do not:

  • modify the mark, or use it as the identity of your own product, package or fork;
  • use it in a way implying endorsement of, or affiliation with, an implementation that is not part of this programme.

Implementing the contract requires no permission and no licence from anybody. This restriction is about the mark, and only the mark.
