Google’s OKF v0.2 adds trust and provenance fields for agent-generated knowledge

Google announced OKF v0.2 (Open Knowledge Format), adding a “Trust Layer” aimed at accountability for agent-generated knowledge.
The format still requires only a type field in YAML frontmatter, but it now encourages extra provenance and reliability metadata so systems can answer five questions: what it was created from, how much to trust it, whether it is still true, whether it is the current version, and whether a number was produced as specified.
New suggested fields include:
- generated (supersedes timestamp)
- verified (human/machine confirmations)
- status (draft, stable, deprecated)
- staleafter (expiration date)
- sources (structured provenance data)
