<p>Overview of the various concepts that p2p systems have to handle or address with links to the sections where we address them!</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="definitions.html">Definitions</a> - Terms used within the protocol spec</li>
<li><a href="protocol.html">Protocol</a> - The protocol spec itself, which encompasses the following sections and describes how they relate to one another.</li>
<li><a href="identity.html">Identity</a> - How each peer in the swarm is identified (or not)</li>
<li><a href="discovery.html">Discovery</a> - How peers are discovered and connected to in the swarm, or, how an identity is dereferenced into some network entity.</li>
<li><a href="data_structures.html">Data Structures</a> - What and how data is represented within the protocol</li>
<li><a href="querying.html">Querying</a> - How data, or pieces of data are requested from hosting peers</li>
<li><a href="evolvability.html">Evolvability</a> - How the protocol is intended to accommodate changes, plugins, etc.</li>
</ul>
<p>Additionally, p2p-ld considers these additional properties that are not universal to p2p protocols:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="vocabulary.html">Vocabulary</a> - The linked data vocabulary that is used within the protocol</li>
<li><a href="encryption.html">Encryption</a> - How individual messages can be encrypted and decrypted by peers</li>
