# Elemental Imperium - Monorepo

**Status**: ✅ **Active**  
**Purpose**: Unified monorepository for Elemental Imperium projects. This is 1/3 of the DBIS Tripartite Body.

---

## Overview

Elemental Imperium is a monorepository that consolidates projects related to the DBIS (Digital Bank of International Settlements) ecosystem. As part of the DBIS Tripartite Body, this monorepo manages critical infrastructure and services.

---

## DBIS Tripartite Body

Elemental Imperium represents **1/3 of the DBIS Tripartite Body**, a three-part governance and operational structure for the Digital Bank of International Settlements.

---

## Monorepo Structure

This monorepo uses git submodules to manage related projects:

```
Elemental_Imperium/
├── .gitmodules                # Git submodules configuration
├── OMNL/                      # OMNL project (submodule)
├── packages/                  # Shared packages (planned)
│   └── shared/                # Shared libraries and utilities
├── tools/                     # Development tools (planned)
└── docs/                      # Documentation (planned)
```

## Submodules

### OMNL
**Status**: Active  
**Description**: OMNL (Omniversal Meta Network Layer) - Details to be documented

**Relationship**: Core component of Elemental Imperium infrastructure

---

## Getting Started

### Clone with Submodules

```bash
# Clone repository with all submodules
git clone --recurse-submodules <repository-url>
cd Elemental_Imperium

# Or if already cloned, initialize submodules
git submodule update --init --recursive
```

### Update Submodules

```bash
# Update all submodules to latest commits
git submodule update --remote

# Update OMNL submodule
cd OMNL
git pull origin main
cd ..
git add OMNL
git commit -m "Update OMNL submodule"
```
