Machine-Readable Entity
AI Summary
A machine-readable entity is any entity whose properties are structured for AI interpretation rather than visual presentation.
Canonical Definition
An entity (property, organization, asset) whose attributes are encoded in structured, machine-parsable format optimized for AI reasoning rather than human browsing. A machine-readable entity exposes explicit fields, typed attributes, and computable relationships.
Extended Summary
Machine-Readable Entity is a foundational concept: entities designed for AI consumption rather than human browsing. Such entities expose explicit fields (no implied information), typed attributes (data types specified), and computable relationships (structured links to related entities). Missing field awareness is explicit — absence of data is declared rather than inferred.
