These are the rules for what appears in the public UXDB catalogue. Purpose and privacy live on About UXDB.

Speakers

A speaker page is good enough to publish only when the person is linked to at least one public talk.

• Unverified “Potential” speakers stay in the operator database only.
• Speakers with events but no talk sessions are not published.
• The working aim is about 1,000 publishable speaker pages (speakers with at least one public talk).

The public export enforces this rule when it builds /uxdb/public/ from the operator records. Counts for the current export are in /uxdb/public/manifest.json.

Events and sessions (talks only)

Public v1 publishes talks only. Allowlisted session types (case-insensitive): talk, keynote, lightning talk, lecture, case study, fireside chat, webinar, discussion.

• Sessions need a title, a public event, and an allowlisted type.
• Untyped sessions are excluded until an allowlisted type is set in uxdb/data/ — we do not guess “talk” for missing types (some untyped rows are workshops).
• Workshops, panels, books, masterclasses, podcasts and other non-talk types stay in the operator / UXDBPRO circuit; they are never deleted from source data.
• Events need a unique id, a name, and at least one public talk.
• Talk pages do not expose cross-node circuit links (methods, tools, organisations) until those node types launch publicly.

Hollow or incomplete records may still be omitted as catalogue fitness improves; speaker publishability always requires a public talk link.
