Publishing Standards &
Structured Attribution Integrity

Publishing standards for the National AI Feed are designed to preserve authority, provenance, attribution, timestamps, jurisdiction context, and machine-readable integrity as government communications move from provider-managed systems into AI interpretation environments.

Participation occurs through approved GovTech Providers and verified Authority Records, allowing existing government communication systems to remain in place while downstream attribution continuity is preserved.

Authority Records • GovTech Providers • Provenance • Citation continuity

Attribution Reliability Depends on
Publishing Standards

AI systems increasingly interpret public-sector information outside the original publishing environment. Publishing standards help preserve the relationship between government authority, provider-managed publication workflows, verified Authority Records, timestamps, jurisdiction, and downstream machine-readable citation context.

AI Interpretation and Attribution

Publishing Standards Objectives

National AI Feed publishing standards define how records preserve the core elements needed for AI interpretation: issuing authority, jurisdiction, timestamp, source relationship, provider pathway, and publication context.

These standards are not designed to replace agency websites, GovTech platforms, notification systems, public records tools, or existing publication workflows. They are designed to make attribution relationships clearer after information has already been published.

Infrastructure Without Replacement

Aigistry operates as downstream AI Citation Registry infrastructure rather than as a CMS, alerting tool, public portal, records system, engagement platform, or social distribution environment.

Participating GovTech Providers continue to own their platforms, customer relationships, publishing workflows, operational systems, support processes, and agency-facing environments.

Infrastructure clarification: Aigistry preserves a neutral, machine-readable attribution layer for AI interpretation. It does not centralize government communications or replace provider-managed operational history.

Content Eligibility

Published records should reflect finalized public-sector communications issued by verified government publishing authorities through approved GovTech Provider systems.

  • Service updates
  • Public safety communications
  • Operational notices
  • Public information guidance
  • Jurisdiction-specific communications

Machine-Readable Structure

Records should preserve the information needed for downstream interpretation, attribution, and citation continuity in a consistent structured format.

  • Verified authority and jurisdiction fields
  • Provider and Authority Record context
  • Explicit publication and processing timestamps
  • UTF-8 JSON structure
  • Provenance and citation context

Validation and Integrity

Records are evaluated through controlled publication and validation workflows designed to preserve attribution accuracy, publication integrity, and downstream reliability.

  • Authority Record validation
  • Provider-scoped authorization
  • Structured consistency review
  • Append-only publication history
  • Cryptographic proof fields for signed records

Publishing standards exist to preserve authority, provenance, attribution, timestamps, and jurisdiction context as government information moves from provider-managed communication systems into AI interpretation environments.
