TALAMANA · THE COMPLETE MAP · ABOUT · THE METHOD · SOURCES · OPEN DATA

The map is open data

The whole dataset is published on GitHub. Take it, build on it, and keep the extensions open.

WHERE

github.com/rbdsailab/talamana — the dataset the map is drawn from, with its validator and its rights ledger.

WHAT YOU GET

• 287 ideas — each a single teachable idea, with a plain-language description, the evidence that shows you have it, a crit question, an approximate age range, and full grounding.
• 614 prerequisite links — a directed graph with no cycles: idea X stands on idea Y. Each link is tagged strong or helpful with a one-line reason.
• An on-ramp band — 22 ideas for ages 11 to 15 adapted from the Marble Skill Taxonomy, attributed per idea.
• Framework alignment — codes-only references to the UNESCO AI Competency Framework for Students and to AI Samarth’s four pillars.
• 7 walks — curated routes to a goal idea.
• Clusters — one-paragraph summaries per strand and age band, written for faculty.

The files: topics.json · dependencies.json · walks.json · sources.json · clusters.json · frameworks.json · manifest.json.

LICENCES

• Database (structure, ids, relationships): Open Data Commons ODbL 1.0. Build on it — including commercially, as a produced work — and your product stays yours. Extend the database itself and the extension stays open.
• Authored text (names, descriptions, evidence, reasons, summaries): CC BY-SA 4.0.
• Third-party frameworks: not relicensed. Encumbered sources are referenced by code only; the rights ledger is PROVENANCE.md in the repository.
• 22 on-ramp ideas adapt text from the Marble Skill Taxonomy (CC BY-SA 4.0); each carries its attribution.

PROVENANCE AND HONESTY

Every claim in this dataset traces to a source, every authored stance declares itself, and every adapted text carries attribution. Nothing here pretends to be neutral that isn’t.
