Standards Map

pwcli-core uses standards maturity to prevent hype-driven architecture.

Reference Maturity Use
OpenAPI stable / formal standard HTTP API contracts.
JSON Schema stable / formal standard Structured payload validation.
OAI-PMH stable / formal standard Archive metadata harvesting.
Dublin Core stable / formal standard Minimal descriptive metadata.
MARC 21 stable / formal standard Bibliographic cataloging target.
IIIF stable / formal standard Compound digital object presentation.
W3C PROV-O stable / formal standard Provenance graph model.
RDF / JSON-LD stable / formal standard Linked data.
DCAT stable / formal standard Dataset catalogs.
SPDX stable / formal standard License, BOM, and system metadata.
schema.org widely adopted vocabulary Public web structured data.
MCP open agent protocol Agent tools, resources, and prompts.
A2A open agent protocol Agent cards, task lifecycle, artifacts.
RO-Crate community standard Research object packaging.
llms.txt emerging convention LLM-readable website map.
AGENTS.md emerging convention Repository instructions for coding agents.
context-pack/ pattern only Local Markdown operating context.
WebMCP experimental / watch layer Browser-agent tool exposure.

Rule: if a standard fits, reference it. If it does not fit, create a local schema that still preserves source identifiers, rights, provenance, confidence, review state, and fallback routes.
