List or claim your business

Being findable should not cost you your legal rights. Listing here asks for none of them. Your listing is a small JSON file in a public git repository, and your listing page publishes it as schema.org data, the format search engines and AI agents read.

1. Submit it

Open the Submit a site form and pick the kind business. A bot turns it into a pull request that adds records/<your-host>.json. You can also open the pull request yourself.

2. Prove it is yours

Serve this file from your own site, at https://<your-host>/.well-known/aithernet.json:

{"records": ["<your-id>"]}

Only whoever controls the site can put that file there. The verifier then marks the listing owner-proven. That is the whole claim process. There is nothing to sign.

3. Add the facts you want found

"listing": {
  "description": "Neighbourhood bakery, sourdough and pastries",
  "category": "bakery",
  "address": "1 Main St, Springfield",
  "area_served": "Springfield",
  "phone": "+1 555 010 0000",
  "hours": ["Mo-Fr 07:00-15:00", "Sa,Su 08:00-12:00"],
  "same_as": ["https://social.example/yourbakery"]
}

Hours use the schema.org form shown. The index validator (rule NI010) rejects any field it does not know, so a listing can only ever hold the facts you chose to publish.

What you give, and what you keep

• No account here and no terms to click. You need a GitHub account to open the issue or pull request, and GitHub's own terms cover that account.
• The facts in your listing file are published under CC BY 4.0, like every record here. That license covers that file and nothing else.
• Listing asks you to release no legal claim: not about your website, not about anything else you have published, not about past or future work, and not for any company you own.
• To leave, delete your file in a pull request, or open an issue and a maintainer deletes it. Copies other people already made under CC BY stay valid; that is how open data works.

This page explains how the index works. It is not legal advice.
