Certification Schema

The Certification Schema defines the structured format used to represent certification records consistently throughout the Satoshium Suite.

Schemas provide a common language that allows certifications, evidence, registry records, attestations, and trust information to be exchanged between humans, software, and future systems.

Canonical Structure

Defines the official structure used for certification records throughout the Suite.

Required Fields

Specifies mandatory identifiers, metadata, status values, evidence references, and certification information.

Validation

Ensures every certification record conforms to the published schema before issuance.

Interoperability

Allows certification records to be shared, validated, and interpreted consistently across all Suite tools.

Illustrative Structure

{
  "certification": {

    "id": "",

    "version": "",

    "standard": "",

    "status": "",

    "subject": {},

    "evaluation": {},

    "score": {},

    "trust": {},

    "evidence": [],

    "decision": {},

    "issued": "",

    "expires": "",

    "metadata": {}

  }
}

The structure shown above is illustrative only. Official certification schemas are published separately under the Satoshium Schemas Standard.

Methodology Role

The Certification Schema transforms certification methodology into structured, machine-readable records that preserve consistency, interoperability, and long-term verification.

Methodology explains the process. Schemas preserve the result.
