AP One-Name Studies › Future Direction

Help shape AP One-Name Studies

Shipped early and lean, on purpose. We are now researching what one-name studies genuinely need — and where the gaps are. Your input should shape the direction more than our guesses do.

Where we are looking

No fixed roadmap yet — at this stage your input steers it. What moves left depends on what you tell us.

Recently shipped4

  • Saveable import templates (now free)
  • Structured census fields
  • Undoable imports — every import is a record set
  • Archive / handover export

Under evaluation4

  • Richer distribution analysis and mapping
  • Publishing to community standard
  • Deeper reconstitution
  • Model Context Protocol (MCP) access, so your own AI assistant can query the study — read-only, on your own site, and only when you switch it on

Being considered2

  • Backing a study with record collections
  • Society-facing features

Tell us what we have missed

One-name study is a deep field with its own conventions. If we have missed something that matters to your study — a Guild practice, a niche of the work, a feature you cannot do without — we would genuinely rather hear it than not.

Every suggestion from a working one-namer is read and weighed.

This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.
What would you like to tell us?(Required)
Your idea, or the convention we have missed. The more specific, the better.
How do you use AP One-Name Studies? (optional)
Only if you would like a reply. We will not add you to any mailing list.
