C2PA Technical Specification
Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity — component or architectural context.
Definition
A bounded technical identity.
Synthetic output disclosure communicates that content was generated or materially altered by automated or generative systems, together with useful provenance where available.
Why it matters
Make the technical question explicit.
Clear disclosure can help people and downstream systems interpret origin, editing responsibility, confidence, and reuse conditions without assuming that every synthetic artifact is deceptive or unsafe.
Technical context
Distributed infrastructure / AI / network
This page provides a stable descriptive reference for the stated concept. Implementations, products, operating models, and applicable requirements remain context-specific and replaceable.
Evidence and terminology boundary
Evidence class C.
The cited authority supports component concepts or architectural context. It does not define this exact compound identity; LJP uses the phrase descriptively.

No ontology, API, agent card, MCP endpoint, or executable service is published. JSON-LD describes this page; it is not a formal vocabulary.
Credibility boundary
What this page does not claim.
The identity is not a content detector, authenticity guarantee, watermark, or legal-compliance determination.
This identity is not an agent, workload, sensor, control plane, runtime, operating platform, database, network, or standards authority. It is not an endorsement, certification, or conformance claim.
