This proposal introduces an optional, filesystem-based representation for distributing legislative data, centered on append-only log records and explicit JSON Schemas.
The goal is to support bulk access, reproducibility, and file-native analytics workflows while remaining aligned with existing OCD identifiers and object models. Log entries are designed to be self-contained and analyzable independently of their original directory context, enabling diffing, replayability, and decentralized reuse.
This proposal is additive and does not modify existing OCD object models or APIs.
