SESM Adoption Guide

Use SESM when SVG assets need embedded provenance, semantic role, theme, UI hints, LLM context, or integrity metadata.

Steps​

  1. Read the SESM specification (Overview page).
  2. Validate metadata against svg_asset.schema.json.
  3. Use Validate-SESM-Safe.py when claiming SESM-safe SVG conformance.
  4. Use Embed-SESM.py when embedding or updating metadata.
  5. Run tests/run_tests.py after changing tooling.
  6. Record SESM adoption in the project or asset manifest.

SFDS Relationship​

Use SFDS to maintain SESM as a standard suite. Use SESM to govern embedded SVG metadata, schema validation, conversion support, and semantic asset context.
