Association

TextRefs is a non-profit, open, and non-commercial association (Verein) based in Zürich, Switzerland. It builds, maintains, and publishes an open, persistent, and machine-readable registry for canonical text references.

These pages contain the founding documents:

• Mission and non-profit alignment
• Statutes — Art. 1–22
• Organizational and governance regulation
• Expense and compensation regulation
• Open infrastructure principles (POSI) — adherence to the Principles of Open Scholarly Infrastructure

For the mission, statutes, governance regulation, and expense regulation, the English versions are convenience translations. The legally binding texts are the German originals.
