AAS Schema Reference

AAS.manifest.toml​

The standard manifest. Describes AAS itself: identity, governance relationships, artifact locations, and lifecycle.

[standard]
id = "aas"
title = "Aptlantis Analysis Standard"
abbreviation = "AAS"
status = "active"
maturity = "candidate"
version = "0.2.1"
description = "Governs local evaluation pipelines, analysis manifests, run records, metric definitions, evidence, interpretation boundaries, and credibility checks."

[governance]
meta_standard = "SFDS"
workspace_standard = "WGS"
scope = "Evaluation and analysis records, input references, tools, environments, metrics, outputs, comparisons, limitations, and interpretation notes."
non_goals = ["Dataset licensing", "model training recipes", "agent handoff format"]

[artifacts]
specification = "Aptlantis Analysis Standard.md"
schema = "AnalysisManifest.schema.toml"
templates = "templates"

[lifecycle]

[agent]

notes = "Existing AAS framework notes remain preserved references."
  • [standard] — identity block: id, title, abbreviation, status, maturity, version, one-line description.
  • [governance] — links to SFDS (meta-standard) and WGS (workspace standard), states scope and non-goals. governance_notes points at the preserved framework essay in references/.
  • [artifacts] — points to the specification, schema, templates/examples folders, adoption guide, validation checklist, changelog.
  • [adopter_artifacts] — the analysis manifest schema, manifest template, and evaluation run record template that adopting projects fill in.
  • [lifecycle] — creation/update dates and maintainer.
  • [agent] — reading order for agents onboarding onto AAS; explicitly includes the reference essay as required reading.

AnalysisManifest.schema.toml​

The schema that validates a project's Analysis-Manifest.toml.

title = "AAS Analysis Manifest Schema"
type = "object"
required = ["analysis", "governance", "inputs", "environment", "outputs"]

[properties.analysis]
required = ["id", "title", "status"]

[properties.governance]
required = ["standard", "workspace_standard"]

[properties.inputs]
required = ["datasets", "artifacts"]

[properties.environment]
required = ["tools", "runtime"]

[properties.outputs]
required = ["metrics", "files"]
  • analysis — required id, title, and status (see readiness levels in the overview).
  • governance — required links back to AAS and WGS.
  • inputs — required dataset and artifact references consumed by the analysis.
  • environment — required tool list and runtime description.
  • outputs — required metrics and output file locations.
