The '''Ordnung Name System''' ('''ONS''') is a semantic data query system that repurposes the [[wp:Domain Name System|DNS]] CHAOS (CH) class for structured data retrieval. Developed by [[secondtruthLabs]], ONS enables semantic queries using existing DNS infrastructure without requiring new protocol implementations.<br />
<br />
== Overview ==<br />
<br />
ONS leverages an underutilized feature of DNS—the CHAOS class—to create a parallel query namespace for semantic data. This approach provides:<br />
<br />
* Zero protocol overhead<br />
* Complete freedom in data organization<br />
* Compatibility with existing DNS tools<br />
* Built-in caching via DNS infrastructure<br />
<br />
=== Design philosophy ===<br />
<br />
ONS prioritizes simplicity and compatibility:<br />
<br />
* No new protocols to implement<br />
* Works with standard DNS tools (<code>dig</code>, <code>nslookup</code>)<br />
* Domain-agnostic naming<br />
* Minimal structural requirements<br />
<br />
== Technical specification ==<br />
<br />
=== Query format ===<br />
<br />
ONS queries use standard DNS [[wp:List_of_DNS_record_types|TXT record]] queries with the CHAOS class:<br />
<br />
{{Code example<br />
| language = bash<br />
| caption = Basic ONS query<br />
| code = dig <name>.<domain> CH TXT<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Examples ===<br />
<br />
{{Code example<br />
| language = bash<br />
| caption = Query examples<br />
| code = # Query a concept definition<br />
dig ai-agent.concepts.example.com CH TXT<br />
<br />
# Query project metadata<br />
dig secondmind.projects.stlabs.example CH TXT<br />
<br />
# Query organizational info<br />
dig stlabs.orgs.example.com CH TXT<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Response format ===<br />
<br />
Responses are standard DNS TXT records containing structured data:<br />
<br />
{{Code example<br />
| language = text<br />
| caption = Example response<br />
| code = ai-agent.concepts.example.com. CH TXT "An autonomous software entity capable of perceiving its environment and taking actions to achieve goals."<br />
}}<br />
<br />
== Related specifications ==<br />
<br />
ONS is part of a family of specifications:<br />
<br />
* '''[[Ordnung Data Schema]]''' (ODS) – Standard field conventions for ONS data<br />
* '''[[Ordnung Data Retrieval System]]''' (ODRS) – Global namespace using <code>.o</code> TLD<br />
<br />
== Implementations ==<br />
<br />
ONS can be implemented using:<br />
<br />
* [[wp:BIND (DNS server)|BIND]] with CH class zones<br />
* [[wp:CoreDNS|CoreDNS]] with custom plugins<br />
* Any DNS server supporting CHAOS class<br />
<br />
