Google proposes Open Knowledge Format based on Markdown (cloud.google.com) AI

Google Cloud announced the Open Knowledge Format (OKF), an open, vendor-neutral specification for packaging AI “LLM-wiki” knowledge as a directory of Markdown files with YAML frontmatter. OKF v0.1 is designed so knowledge producers and AI agents can exchange context, metadata, and curated documentation without proprietary SDKs, with optional index.md and log.md to support navigation and change history. The post also describes reference implementations (a BigQuery-to-OKF enrichment agent and an HTML visualizer), sample OKF bundles, and plans to evolve the specification via GitHub contributions.
