<h2>Distributed Replicated Edge Agency Machine</h2>
<p>The <abbr title="Public Universal Base: Libre Infrastructure Community">PUBLIC</abbr>
<abbr>DREAM</abbr> is an ongoing research program part of the
<abbr title="Next Generation Internet">NGI</abbr> initiative of
the European Commission.
</p>
<p>In 2021, we will research and build technical solutions to
empower communities everywhere to independently collaborate in the
local creation and maintenance of open knowledge. The goal of
DREAM is to enable the convergence of distributed
<abbr title="Peer-to-Peer">P2P</abbr> networks and linked
data models, within social solidary economy and
organize among trusted groups.</p>
<p>For example, a group may collect, share, and edit local
commons data offline, then synchronize these datasets with other
trusted peers and enrich a globally distributed database that
can be used from the Web and edited asynchronously by
independent parties over the P2P network.

<h2>For Activists</h2>
<p>During the year we will propose hands-on collaborative
workshops to inform software development, exploring and refining
patterns of group collaboration. Participants sharing similar
interests can form a group and enhance their collaborative
practices. They can choose to work and organize online or
offline—when they reconnect to the Internet, they may optionally
share their work globally.</p>

<h2>For Developers</h2>
<p>We're designing and documenting a peer-to-peer framework that
others can build upon and will provide a set of reusable free
software libraries, components and reference implementations.
DREAM components are designed to work together but may be used
independently:
<ul>
<li>DROMEDAR provides conflict-free replicated data structures to distribute linked data;</li>
<li>UPSYCLE provides a peer-to-peer networking system for private encrypted group collaboration;</li>
<li>SHRUTHI provides unikernel orchestration and provisioning capabilities.</li>
</ul>
