Open Knowledge Format¶
The Open Knowledge Format (OKF) is the open format this whole knowledge base is built on — a simple, portable way to represent knowledge that both people and AI agents can read. This bundle explains it for knowledge and strategy leaders: what OKF is, why a format for knowledge is worth caring about, and where the idea could go.
It comes in two arcs. Understanding OKF covers the format as it stands today — how it works, where it fits against the alternatives, and how it handles provenance. The Potential is our grounded read of the trajectory — knowledge for agents, where OKF could go next, and whether the direction fits you.
Facts about the format are grounded in the canonical OKF specification, not our house conventions. The forward-looking half is our analysis, marked as such. Start with What OKF Is.
