title: "Compass: FAIR Signposting validation for RFC 8288 Web Links (Java, alpha)"

abstract: >-
  Compass is a Java library for validating and interpreting FAIR Signposting
  based on RFC 8288 Web Links. It provides defensive Web Link model validation,
  validation of FAIR Signposting Level 1 and Level 2 recipes, semantic accessors
  for Signposting relations, and parsing support for RFC 9264 Link Sets.
  Compass operates entirely in memory, performs no network requests, and is
  designed to integrate with existing HTTP and metadata processing pipelines.

message: >-
  This software is in an early (alpha) stage and under active development.
  APIs and behavior may change without notice.
  You may cite this version to describe the software used in your work.
  For long-term or archival references, consider citing a later stable release
  when available.
