Reference implementation first

Grounding Map Examples

The v0.1 model starts from one public implementation: the /fakten/ architecture on marcdeboer.de.

Generic website-type examples are included as patterns only. They do not replace the reference implementation and should not be read as case studies or adoption evidence.

Own implementation

grounding-map.com /facts/

This site includes a small live Reference Implementation of its own model. The /facts/ directory is the Grounding Map Directory and Grounding Map Index Page, with Grounding Pages for Grounding Map and Marc de Boer.

Reference implementation

marcdeboer.de /fakten/

marcdeboer.de is the first reference implementation used to derive Specification v0.1. It is a source for the model, not proof that the model is externally established.

Map directory

/fakten/

The directory and index page. It lists stable Grounding Pages and shows related concepts, primary pages, article signals and evidence relationships.

Grounding Page

/fakten/grounding-map/

The canonical facts page for the Grounding Map concept. It documents definition, scope, boundaries, relationships and the concrete /fakten/ implementation.

Explanation

/blog/grounding-map/

The explanatory article that describes why individual Grounding Pages need a visible website-level map layer.

Stable concept page

/fakten/seo-entropie/

Example of a stable concept page that can be listed and related inside the Grounding Map.

Stable concept page

/fakten/search-reality/

Example of a core model page connected through related concepts, articles, evidence and machine-readable text resources.

Reference Implementation

Reference implementation: marcdeboer.de/fakten/

The first reference implementation used to derive Specification v0.1 has this structure:

URL or resourceRole in the model
https://marcdeboer.de/fakten/Grounding Map Directory and Grounding Map Index Page.
https://marcdeboer.de/fakten/grounding-map/Grounding Page for the Grounding Map concept.
https://marcdeboer.de/fakten/seo-entropie/Grounding Page for the SEO Entropy concept.
https://marcdeboer.de/fakten/search-reality/Grounding Page for the Search Reality concept.
https://marcdeboer.de/blog/grounding-map/Editorial explanation of the Grounding Map concept.

This reference is public and inspectable. It is not presented as perfect, externally validated or broadly adopted.

Secondary patterns

How a /facts/ directory can become a Grounding Map

These patterns are intentionally generic. They show directory shapes, not fictional success stories.

Expert website

Methods and concepts

Directory: /facts/. Pages: methods, concepts, person profile, definitions and evidence articles.

Common gap: many opinion articles, few stable definitions.

SaaS

Product and docs alignment

Directory: /facts/. Pages: product, features, integrations, use cases and documentation references.

Common gap: marketing pages without technical evidence links.

E-commerce

Categories and buying guidance

Directory: /facts/. Pages: category concepts, materials, product lines and guide topics.

Common gap: product URLs without stable category context.

Publisher

Topics, dossiers and sources

Directory: /topics/ or /facts/. Pages: topics, source references, explainers and dossiers.

Common gap: chronological articles without stable topic pages.

Marketplace

Trust and category structure

Directory: /facts/. Pages: categories, provider roles, trust concepts and process references.

Common gap: indexable listings without stable trust references.

Institution

Programs and evidence

Directory: /facts/. Pages: programs, fields, people, publications, projects and datasets.

Common gap: old project pages without status or topic linkage.
