Description
I built an open labeling standard for tracking mushroom specimens through their lifecycle (from spore/culture to harvest).v1.1 adds clonal generation tracking (distinct from filial/strain generations) and conforms to JSON-LD for interoperability with agricultural/scientific data systems.Spec (CC 4.0): https://wemush.com/open-standard/specification Client libraries (Apache 2.0): Python + CLI: pip install wols (also on GHCR) TypeScript/JS: npm install @wemush/wolsBackground: Mycology has fragmented data practices (misidentified species, inconsistent cultivation logs, no shared vocabulary for tracking genetics across generations). This is an attempt to fix that.Looking for feedback from anyone working with biological specimen tracking, agricultural data systems, or mycology.

Could you build this?
Yes Defining a domain schema, documentation, and JSON-LD serialization for mushroom cultivation tracking is a specification and metadata project easily written with AI assistance.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a vertical saas tool for Insurance yet.
