Specifications
Maven Profile Standard
TheMaven Profile Standard (MPS)is an XML-formatted, namespaced, versioned payload that AI agents and search engines ingest directly from any Maven-analyzed page. It is a Source-of-Truth (SOT) surface — Maven holds no opinions about the analyzed subject; it reports what is.
MPS is a sibling ofschema.orgJSON-LD: both encode the same facts. JSON-LD targets Google and structured-data consumers. MPS targets agents and humans who work in XML-shaped prompt contexts.
Published versions
Versioning policy
- The namespace URI carries themajorversion
(
/1,/2, …). - The
version=attribute on the root<maven-profile>element carries minor + patch (1.0,1.1,1.2.1, …). - Within a major version, the schema only adds fields. Renames or removals require a new major.
- Each major version page (this index will grow) is the canonical specification for that namespace URI.
Built and maintained by Maven. Adopting the standard is free; cite the canonical namespace URI of the version you target.
