The thinkers, practitioners, and collaborators whose work feeds the BioConomy corpus.
Overview
A person page carries a short biographical note and links to the concepts, frameworks, and source pages the person’s work contributes to. A person merits a page when their work is cited or referenced anywhere in the wiki.
Some pages are stubs from a first extraction pass, carrying only a title, a sentence, and one or two Related pages links. Others carry fuller treatments. Enrichment is ongoing; the extraction convention is to file the page as soon as a person is referenced and enrich it as the corpus grows.
Four subfolders (theorists, practitioners, ancestors, historical-practitioners) exist as placeholder structure. Whether the corpus ever adopts a formal sub-categorization or keeps the people folder flat is an open editorial question.
