Direct answer
Machine Readable Article, in this workflow, is limited to the following inspected scope. XML elements and attributes for journal-article metadata and full content. Public structured-data vocabulary for describing article resources. The canonical definition and release guidance for machine-readable publishing. A live metadata-only machine record suitable for a bounded worked example. The answer carries the source boundaries forward and does not infer authority from a neighboring topic.
Workflow
Show the ordered states, authorization boundaries, handoffs, replay rules, and terminal outcomes.
A workflow diagram does not prove that a remote provider, payment, release, or delivery occurred.
Applied scope: XML elements and attributes for journal-article metadata and full content. Public structured-data vocabulary for describing article resources. The canonical definition and release guidance for machine-readable publishing. A live metadata-only machine record suitable for a bounded worked example.
Definition and operating context
The canonical concept owner is agentic-publishing. This route may apply release; it cannot redefine or inherit the authority of its canonical owner.
This property may publish publishing protocols, editorial templates, release guidance. It must not publish duplicate research records or unlabelled machine authorship.
Evidence and exact locators
Journal Article Tag Suite (JATS) 1.4 — JATS 1.4 standard description and tag-suite scope. Establishes: XML elements and attributes for journal-article metadata and full content.
Article — Article type, properties, and TechArticle and ScholarlyArticle subtypes. Establishes: Public structured-data vocabulary for describing article resources.
Machine readability — Four guidance sections and payload-validation requirement. Establishes: The canonical definition and release guidance for machine-readable publishing.
The Maha Principle Context Pack v0.1.0 — Top-level metadata, exclusions, source identity and version fields. Establishes: A live metadata-only machine record suitable for a bounded worked example.
What the evidence does not establish
JATS is designed for journal articles and does not define every agentic publication or Maha release field.
Schema.org describes resources; it does not verify evidence, authorship, review, release status, or factual accuracy.
The guidance does not guarantee indexing, citation, summarization, or external adoption.
The record is not a template or specification and does not license reproduction of the described book.
This route must not claim duplicate research records.
This route must not claim unlabelled machine authorship.

What does the evidence not establish?
JATS is designed for journal articles and does not define every agentic publication or Maha release field. Schema.org describes resources; it does not verify evidence, authorship, review, release status, or factual accuracy. The guidance does not guarantee indexing, citation, summarization, or external adoption. The record is not a template or specification and does not license reproduction of the described book. Property boundary: This route may apply release; it cannot redefine or inherit the authority of its canonical owner.
Which definition or canonical owner must be read first?
This page is the local agentic-publishing definition for its topic. Related applications may depend on it but may not silently redefine it.
What source, policy, implementation, or release change would require revision?
Re-evaluate this page when a cited source, locator, governing instrument, local implementation, or canonical definition changes. Publication also requires a matching exact-revision review and active canonical release.
