Proposal: Add healthcare & cultural identity terminology related to TCM practitioner credentialing and herbal medicine provenance #278

Description

@liamyweddiman

Hi everyone, I’m Liam YW Eddiman.

Although my initial notes started as a use-case, the work has now expanded
into a more complete domain framework for applying KERI to regulated
healthcare and culturally-rooted identity systems.

The repository here reflects that broader scope:
https://github.com/liamyweddiman/keri-tcm-identity

It includes:
• practitioner identity models (lineage, training, credential governance)
• herbal medicine provenance chains
• event-chain structures
• draft schema concepts
• documentation for how KERI may support a healthcare-grade trust framework

So instead of a single application example, this has become a structured
"KERI for TCM identity and provenance" mini-framework.

Before preparing any PR, I’d like to ask maintainers:

  1. For work that is broader than a use-case, and closer to a domain-specific
    identity/provenance framework, where would such material best fit within
    the KERI documentation ecosystem?

  2. Would it be more appropriate to:
    • contribute a new subfolder under /docs (e.g., /docs/domain-healthcare),
    • add selected components to /docs/use-cases,
    • or treat this as external community documentation and simply link to it?

  3. Are there conventions or expectations for contributing domain-specific
    architectures (not only use cases) to the project?

I’m happy to adapt structure, terminology, and documentation format based on
your guidance.

Thank you,
— Liam YW Eddiman
