It’s a wiki (loosely defined as an authoritative browsable graph / index) of everything that goes over the wire.

"Wiki" normally refers to user-editable sites, while the graph part is normally implied from being a website. Perhaps Wiregraph would be more accurate? Maybe Wireview? These kinds of networking sites are often called looking glasses, so Wireglass might also work, besides the confusion with the material.

That's not even close to what "wiki" means. Couldn't you have spent two seconds looking up the term that you're using (a community-owned content/knowledge graph that's "collaboratively edited and managed by its audience directly through a web browser") before debasing it?
You've confused "wiki" and "encyclopedia"—getting them exactly backwards. Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia that's a wiki.
You're creating (or, at least, aiming to create) an online encyclopedia. But it's not a wiki.
