Body
July 31, 2026 · View on GitHub
OKF (§4.2) defines the body as the standard markdown content following the frontmatter. The body is where prose, schemas, and examples live — content for humans and LLMs to read. Producers SHOULD favor structural markdown (headings, lists, tables, fenced code blocks) over freeform prose, since structure aids both human reading and agent retrieval. There are no required sections.
Conventional headings
When applicable, OKF recommends these headings so consumers can find common content predictably:
# Schema— for a resource-bound concept, the asset's columns/fields (§4.3).# Examples— usage examples, often as fenced code blocks.# Computation— the sanctioned computation of an Attested Computation concept (§10).
These are conventions, not requirements. A concept with nothing to schematize simply
omits # Schema.
Changed from v0.1. v0.1 listed
# Citationsas a conventional body heading. In v0.2 per-claim attribution to external sources uses markdown footnotes keyed tosourcesentries rather than a body citations list (§5.1) — see Provenance.# Computationis a new conventional heading.# Schemaand# Examplesare unchanged.
Resource-bound vs. abstract concepts
- Bound to a resource (§4.3) — the concept describes a concrete asset, carries a
resourceURI in frontmatter, and typically has a# Schemasection. Example from the spec: a BigQuery Table with a schema table, join notes, and per-claim footnotes. - Not bound to a resource (§4.4) — the concept is abstract (a playbook, a theme, an idea),
has no
resource, and structures its body however suits it. Example from the spec: a Playbook with trigger and steps sections. Every concept in this bundle is abstract.
