Mokupuni Hawaiʻi — one shared, trusted map
Mokunet holds the islands of Hawaiʻi as one shared, trusted map, organized by their 33 traditional moku — so the people caring for a place today, and the future leaders training to coordinate that care next, can see their moku and their kuleana (their role, and where they stand) and act on it.
From any moku you can find the lands and waters that belong to it, the projects and programs under way from planning to outcome, and the producers and partners working there. (Assembled from 18 authoritative state and federal datasets.)
The map is not only something to look at — it is something to build on. This repository is Mokunet’s public service directory: the short list of the surfaces where the shared map is served — to people, and to the software that partners bring.
Where to go
- mokunet.org — the network’s public home: moku stewardship, community, roles, and how to join.
- Moku Data Governance Hub — the platform app: data governance and management for Hawaiʻi’s moku, with records grounded in place and access scoped to your kuleana.
- Research Commons — community data intake: screened, qualified datasets contributed in the open.
- Mokunet on ArcGIS Online — the network’s geospatial service surface: the shared map’s layers, published as feature services, and the dashboards assembled from them (how those prove the pipeline is described below).
The service surfaces — for partners and developers
Everything the map shows a person, the network can serve to software. That is this repository’s subject: Mokunet’s role as the service layer of the network.
- Geospatial feature services — the shared map’s layers are published on Mokunet’s ArcGIS Online organization in the format Hawaiʻi’s public agencies already work in. The dashboards and web maps there are the reference UI, assembled from the feature services alone — no custom software in between — so a working dashboard is live proof that the layer pipeline serves an integration exactly as it serves the eye.
- Platform API —
hawaii.mokunet.us/api: the Moku Data Governance Hub’s interface for records grounded in place, with access scoped to kuleana — your role, and where you stand. - The pattern in practice — the Green Fee transparency demonstration shows how a public portal builds on this separation: a registry-driven site whose project records point to their authoritative map and dashboard destinations instead of replacing them. Official systems stay authoritative; services resolve each place against them. We honor the official lines; we don’t redraw them.
Stage, honestly: the shared map and its layers are being tested; open access for partners and developers is being built. Nothing here is presented as further along than it is.
The network on GitHub
The network’s public code and records live under one GitHub organization, Āina Design Corp: the owner of the people, teams, and repositories listed there, this directory among them.
Mokunet is the name of the network’s pending GitHub enterprise account — the layer above organizations, where the rules that bind every organization under it are set, the audit log is kept, and GitHub’s own compliance reports are held. It is not yet established. It is established, under Āina Design Corp’s nonprofit standing, when a partner program needs its own organization inside it — and not before.
What that means for a partner program:
- Your own organization, beside ours. Āina Design Corp remains an organization inside the enterprise. A program that adopts the pattern gets its own — its own people, teams, and repositories — and can take it with it at any time, repositories, history, and public pages intact.
- Your own sign-in. Identity is set per organization, never for the whole enterprise, so your directory decides who is a member, on which team, and when they leave. Your staff never become members of ours.
- The pattern in practice. The Green Fee transparency demonstration documents the provisioning walkthrough and, honestly, which of these controls it carries today.
Stewarded by Āina Design Corp. Some parts of the network are still being built; mokunet.org keeps the honest list of what works today and what is on the way.
