Author Identity
Exploring structured author identity that travels with the work — across feeds, search, the fediverse, and AI — from one source of truth in WordPress.
Make Authorship Portable: An Exploration
Author Identity treats WordPress as a source of truth for richer author data that can travel with the work across feeds, search, the fediverse, and AI systems.
The repository combines planning and research with the byline-feed plugin, which normalizes author data from core WordPress and major multi-author plugins, then emits structured outputs like feeds, JSON-LD, fediverse:creator, and AI-consent signals.
