v1.0.0
MIF 1.0.0 is the first stable release of the Modeled Information Format: an open standard for portable AI memory, knowledge and information.
Highlights
- Markdown-canonical concept files with a derived, lossless JSON-LD projection.
- The cognitive triad base taxonomy (semantic, episodic, procedural) with a three-tier trait system.
- Canonical JSON Schemas (2020-12) published under stable, resolvable
$ids on mif-spec.dev, with versioned mirrors generated at build. - Conformance levels 1 to 3, an OKF v0.1 conformance gate, and a lossless round-trip gate.
- The AI Memory profile, industry ontology examples, and the
mif_converttooling.
Verifying release artifacts
Each release artifact carries SLSA build provenance and a CycloneDX SBOM attestation. Download an artifact and verify it against its attestation:
gh release download v1.0.0 --repo modeled-information-format/MIF --pattern 'mif-1.0.0.tar.gz'
gh attestation verify mif-1.0.0.tar.gz --repo modeled-information-format/MIF
The attestation is produced by the release workflow itself (.github/workflows/release.yml) using the run's GitHub Actions OIDC identity, so no --signer-workflow override is needed.
Acknowledgements
My thanks to @perlowja, whose contributions shaped the v1.0.0 schema additions: the optional W3C-PROV provenance layer (#85) and the vendor-neutral DocumentReference design (#84) both ship in this release.
