Frontmatter, context and authority
**Frontmatter** is a recognised, dictionary publishing term with expanding relevance across digital media, SaaS, and knowledge platforms. Historically, it refers to the structural content that establishes context and authority before the main work begins. In contemporary use, it maps naturally to metadata, information architecture, and editorial systems.
The asset consists of a coherent global domain portfolio — including **frontmatter.com**, **frontmatter.org**, **frontmatter.net**, **frontmatter.uk**, and related domains — providing a defensible naming position that cannot be recreated organically.
Frontmatter’s value lies in its semantic clarity, professional credibility, and cross-industry applicability. It can operate as a standalone platform, a sub-brand within a larger ecosystem, or a long-term strategic holding for a buyer focused on publishing, content infrastructure, or knowledge technology.
Frontmatter represents ownership of a concept that already exists — and is increasingly central to how information is produced, structured, and trusted.
Frontmatter is privately held and available to the right long-term strategic owner.
