robida/human.json: A lightweight protocol for humans to assert authorship of their website content and vouch for the humanity of others.

human.json is a draft open protocol (v0.1.1) that lets website owners assert human authorship of their content and vouch for other humans via a crawlable web of trust. A site publishes a small JSON file and links to it with a <link rel="human-json"> tag. Vouches are directional, carry a date, and propagate transitively through a directed graph — green/yellow/orange browser extension indicators show how many hops away a site is from a trusted seed. The spec covers discovery, schema, URL normalization, trust model, and includes a Python reference implementation for graph crawling.
