- Missing test conditions remain “unknown,” never “met”; content hashes use canonical JSON under RFC 8785.
Field notes
Each material value is meant to retain its source, test conditions, specimen, and what its reported spread represents. Consumers declare their own conditions and tolerances; a missing condition stays unknown rather than being treated as a match. The page describes plain JSON records, optional OpenUSD support, and SHA-256 hashes over canonical JSON. The format remains a draft, and the curated library is not yet available.
