Bitcoin Schema v0.0.1

A canonical, machine-readable model of the Bitcoin protocol in JSON-LD — structures, byte serialization, and derivations. One schema; many projections: binary codec, explorer views, RDF, validation.

Data model

The core consensus structures as a UML class diagram — generated from the schema, so it never drifts. Filled diamonds are composition; /name fields are derived (computed, not stored).

UML class diagram of the core Bitcoin consensus structures: Block composed of BlockHeader and Transactions; Transaction composed of inputs, outputs, and witnesses; inputs reference OutPoints.

Every wireType field below exists in Bitcoin's consensus byte serialization; derived fields are computed from those bytes and never serialized. The reference codec is driven entirely by this schema and round-trips real mainnet blocks byte-exactly. Independent community project; not affiliated with Bitcoin Core.
