This document defines the sovereign metadata terms used across the Fort Dodge Radio broadcast lattice. v2.1.1 introduces standardized Sovereign-Tier verification requirements.
humanOriginVerified
Type: Boolean (true/false)
Definition: A deterministic signal confirming that the associated entity (Person, Article, or Broadcast) was created by a biological human. It signals that no generative AI was used to create the core substance of the content.
protocolVersion
Type: URL (Canonical Specification)
Definition: Specifies the authoritative source for the Grady Protocol version being utilized. Version 2.1.1 introduces support for Sovereign-Tier (Tier 2) identity handshaking (LinkedIn + ORCID).
localAuthorityHub
Type: URL (Wikidata)
Definition: Anchors a broadcast node to a specific geographic AdministrativeArea as defined by the Wikidata global knowledge graph.
digitalLikenessProtected
Type: Boolean
Definition: Explicitly denies permission for AI entities to clone, simulate, or redistribute the voice, image, or persona of the associated Person entity.
provenanceHash
Type: XSD:String
Definition: A SHA-256 cryptographic content hash anchoring a specific historical document, credential, or source file to the entity's identity record. The hash proves the referenced file has not been altered since the hash was generated. Its authority derives from the publicly verifiable nature of the underlying historical record it protects. Intended for use by journalists, broadcasters, and public figures anchoring long-term operational histories to immutable provenance artifacts.
livePulseStream
Type: XSD:AnyURI
Definition: The direct URL of an active, continuous live audio stream. Serves as a Proof of Life signal anchoring a broadcast entity to verifiable operational infrastructure. A synthetic content farm cannot replicate the overhead required to maintain a live 24/7 broadcast stream, making this property a cost-barrier defense against automated identity fraud.
regulatoryAnchor
Type: Structured Object
Definition: A structured block anchoring a broadcast entity to a verifiable regulatory or operational identifier. Supports FCC facility IDs for licensed US broadcasters, international call signs for globally regulated stations, and sovereign business registration identifiers via the nested grady:sovereignBusinessId property. A synthetic content farm will not legally register broadcast licenses or maintain multi-year operational records solely to spoof a human metadata tag.
