The AIOX Protocol
An open standard for structured, verifiable, and license-aware content publishing in the age of Artificial Intelligence.
Schema Definition
Detailed JSON schemas for Ingredients, Capsules, and Manifests. Defines required fields, data types, and validation rules.
- ingredients.schema.json
- capsule.schema.json
- manifest.schema.json
Interoperability
Standards for discovery via .well-known endpoints and fallback mechanisms for legacy crawler support.
Core Principles
AIOX is built on the philosophy that content should be self-describing and rights-aware. It moves the burden of understanding from the consumer (scraping) to the publisher (declaring).
Atomic Granularity
Content is addressed at the ingredient level, not the page level. This allows precise referencing and licensing.
Cryptographic Provenance
Every unit of content carries a signature. This creates a verifiable chain of custody from creation to consumption.
Dynamic Freshness
Delta feeds replace polling. The protocol supports push-based updates to ensure AI models are never stale.
