BTS standards family
We do not just collect data. We bring a standard.
Every word, syllable, body part, symptom, equation, and API response sits in a versioned, governed framework with permanent IDs and cross-links to international standards including ISO 639-3, Guthrie, and UBERON.
FSI Document Standard
The meta-standard for packaging Full Syllable Inventory documents.
Every BTS-FSI document, across all Bantu languages, must be structurally identical, comparably licensable, and machine-generatable.The Bantu Equations Standard
The single registry of formal equations that govern Bantu structure.
Equations are precise enough to implement, cite, and test; IDs are stable across versions.Bantu Numeracy Data Standard
The English-anchored data contract for Bantu numeracy, including the calendar.
Every numeral, weekday, month, and date a language provides is a governed primitive that resolves to exactly one English reference id and carries a provenance tier.Universal Concord Matrix Standard
The schema for the Bantu noun-class agreement cascade.
Each language ships one UCM: every noun class plus four personal-pronoun rows across 31 grammatical dimensions, keyed by Class_ID.Public API Standard
The customer-facing API contract for enterprise AI clients.
The API is FSI-centric and independent of internal storage; internal collection and database names never appear in URLs or responses.The standards stack
Governance from syllable documents to customer APIs.
BTS-S100 defines how FSI documents are packaged. BTS-E100 defines the equations, and BTS-NUM100 is its data peer, governing the English-anchored numeracy and calendar primitives that instantiate them. BTS-UCM100 supplies the concord matrix that keeps generated language grammatically aligned. BTS-API-100 defines the public contract customers can build against without seeing internal storage.

Everything above is the published specification: what each BTS standard is, its scope, version, and section map. The licensed inventories, audio, and full registries sit behind an evaluation and access process.
