ATTRIBUTION_SCHEMA.md

Mathematics Database — Attribution Schema

Charts in the Mathematics Processes Database may include optional attribution metadata for academic transparency and citation.

Schema

Field	Type	Description
primary	string	Primary author(s) or source (e.g., "Kurt Gödel", "Claude Shannon")
contributors	string[]	Additional contributors (optional)
publication	string	Title of publication or paper
year	string	Year of publication
doi	string	DOI URL (e.g., "https://doi.org/...")
url	string	External URL (Wikipedia, arXiv, etc.)

Implementation

Attribution is embedded in chart HTML via a "Cite" badge in the header-meta area. Hovering over the badge reveals a popover with the full attribution details. Charts using this schema include:

• Gödel Incompleteness Theorems
• Schemes & Sheaves (Grothendieck)
• Group Representations (Frobenius, Maschke)
• Riemannian Geometry
• ZFC Axioms
• Shannon Entropy
• C*-Algebras (Gelfand–Naimark)
