What it checks
For each entry in the site’s ARD catalog, the extension checks the four terms the specification requires:
- an
identifierthat starts withurn:air:and whose publisher segment (the first part afterurn:air:) is the domain being scanned, - a non-empty
displayName, - a
typethat looks like a media type (it contains a/), and - exactly one of
urlordata, never both and never neither.
The domain anchoring matters because it is what lets a registry tie an entry to whoever served it.
Results
| Status | When |
|---|---|
| Pass | Every entry carries all the required terms |
| Warn | One or more entries are missing required terms (up to four are listed as evidence) |
| Warn | The catalog is published but lists no entries |
| N/A | There is no ARD catalog, or it could not be read |
How to fix
Fix each entry named in the evidence. A valid entry for example.com:
{
"identifier": "urn:air:example.com:api:orders",
"displayName": "Orders API",
"type": "application/openapi+json",
"url": "https://example.com/openapi.json"
}
Use data instead of url only when you embed the resource’s description
inline, and never set both.
Support by agent and browser
Announced means the vendor’s own docs or announcement say so. Published is the date on the vendor’s own page, where it has one. Checked is the last time our weekly research found that page still saying so.
