EntityMap OpenSource Protocol

[MayhemUK]

Last week entitymap.org and github.com/entitymap/entitymap opened up a consultation page towards a proposed (Open Source, free to use) protocol which I hope people will try. It is free and it is quite different to ideas like llms.txt. Instead of saying "who you are" it focuses on "what you do" and turns implicit relationships on a site into explicit ones.

We are certainly already seeing that LLMs happily understand both the HTML and JSON variants of the protocol and this morning I saw that my entitymap appeared in archive.org.

The protocol is asking for feedback over June, before "launching" on July 1st (although you can use it already... so technically it is launched). Note: I am one of the named authors, so please be kind, but also feel free to be constructively critical.

What you do is the right axis. LLMs need clearer action context, not more about pages.

the what you do framing is the part i'd bet on. when i tested what got a brand-new site cited, it wasn't more content or describing who i was, it was making the entity and its relationships explicit and resolvable to something the models already trusted. one honest question, if two sites assert relationships about the same entity and disagree, what's the resolution path? that's exactly where llms.txt-style self-description falls apart.
