Cross-Faith Sacred Text and Source Schema
What metadata schema is needed for faith-facing AI systems to represent sacred texts, commentaries, institutional documents, oral traditions, translations, editions, and authority levels across faith traditions?
Why this matters
The question behind the brief.
Formal verification and reliable retrieval both depend on knowing what a source is. A passage may be scripture, commentary, denominational policy, devotional writing, historical scholarship, minority interpretation, or pastoral guidance. Without source metadata, AI systems can cite religious material while hiding important differences in authority, scope, translation, and context.
