# Smart Byte vocabulary (v1)

Stable IRIs for the Smart Byte open standard — the carrier-for-value
substrate. Covers `Byte`, `Envelope`, `Issuer`, `Holder`, the cargo
class taxonomy (Value / Coding / Identity / Telemetry / Custom),
KERI AIDs, lockstep replication events, and the three-tier
energy provenance enum (HwShunt / ModelBased / Estimator).

Namespace: `https://byte.transaction.science/vocab/v1#` (prefix
`sb:` by convention).

| File | Format | What |
|------|--------|------|
| [`v1.jsonld`](v1.jsonld) | JSON-LD `@context` | Term → IRI mapping. |
| [`v1.ttl`](v1.ttl) | Turtle (RDF) | Classes, enumerations, properties; subclasses W3C PROV-O for `Issuer ⊑ prov:Agent` and `LockstepEvent ⊑ prov:Activity`. |
| [`v1.shapes.ttl`](v1.shapes.ttl) | SHACL Core | Shape graph — validates `Byte`, `LockstepEvent`, `AID` locally before replication. SHACL Core only; consumable by any conformant validator. |

A Byte that carries
`@context: "https://byte.transaction.science/vocab/v1.jsonld"`
expands into typed RDF triples for any JSON-LD or SPARQL consumer
without changing its wire form. Mirrors the pattern shipped at
