Responsibility Infrastructure is an architecture for making responsibility explicit, provable and usable across organisational and system boundaries. The Responsibility Infrastructure Standard and Responsibility Infrastructure Protocol address the wider normative and protocol architecture. A separately defined proposed public interoperability layer consists of the Responsibility Interoperability Standard and Responsibility Interoperability Protocol, which define the minimum common semantics and exchange requirements needed for independent systems to interoperate without adopting a common vendor stack. Each publication states its own status, scope and applicable licence or permitted-use terms. Products, open-source projects, vendor protocols and sector-specific systems may implement an applicable public interoperability specification without becoming the normative source for Responsibility Infrastructure, establishing conformance, creating Recognition, conferring Registry standing or supplying authority for external reliance.
