> As a W3C participant, I propose forming a new interest group focused
on AI Visibility Optimization (AIVO) - ensuring structured, trustworthy,
and machine-readable content is surfaced and correctly attributed within
AI-driven search and recommendation environments.
> With AI search systems (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity)
increasingly mediating discovery, the technical requirements for
visibility and attribution are diverging from traditional SEO. This
creates urgent challenges in:

> Citation integrity and machine attribution
> *
> Entity clarity across multimodal content
> *
> Prompt indexing and retrieval performance
> *
> Bias mitigation in model recommendation layers
>
> The AIVO Standard, a peer-reviewed framework I recently published,
formalizes these requirements into measurable benchmarks. It is
available here on Zenodo: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.16410942.
> The framework aligns with existing structured data vocabularies
(e.g., Schema.org) and supports multilingual entity resolution.
Tim,
I cannot imagine W3C being interested in creating a dedicated interest
for your proposal. Interest groups aren't meant to iterate on specific
proposals. We've been working on a more general approach for an interest
group [1] but only for the purpose of a discussion forum.
However, if you're interested in incubating your proposal, I encourage
you to look at our list of current community groups [2] and check if an
existing would fit your scope [3]. If that's not the case, you may want
to propose one ("Anyone may propose a new Community Group").
Thank you,
Philippe Le Hegaret,
VP, Technical Strategy
