What it is

A framework for machine-readable, persistent, and verifiable disclosure of AI involvement in digital content, developed by Liccium with Leiden University and the GO FAIR Foundation. It defines attribution flags (human-created, AI-assisted, AI-generated), activity codes for the AI's role in the content lifecycle, and optional identification of the AI system and version, declared in JSON-LD and bound to the content through ISCC fingerprints (ISO 24138:2024).

Role in the record

  • Grounds BP07: a machine-readable vocabulary for stating what a human did and what an AI system did (bp7-a2), alongside CRediT for the byline. A version 0.9 white paper from a company-led consortium with one reference implementation; cited as an emerging instance, not an established standard.

Atom-level for/against detail and quotes are in the provenance data (assets/provenance.yml), keyed by practice atom.
