Annotation by: friends, volunteers, paid sources, AI
Usable by search, feed algorithms, UI
Risks:
Early draft (from CredCo) at https://credweb.org/cciv
Identify claims in content; check them against evidence
See: Int'l Fact-Checking Network, ClaimReview, RelatedFactChecks
Help people maintain and use their trust networks
Risks:
Vocab example: { <example.com> :domainCredibility 0.80 }
Help folks self-report data impacting credibility (in some context)
Examples: disclosing business model, investors, jurisdiction
Risks:
San Francisco meeting, end of July
