Machine-Readable Entity
An entity represented in structured, machine-readable format that AI systems can interpret, compare, and reason about without ambiguity.
Description
Machine-readable entities are represented in structured formats (JSON-LD, RDF,或其他标准格式) that AI systems can directly process. Unlike human-readable documents, machine-readable entities expose attributes as typed fields with clear semantics, enabling automated reasoning and comparison.

Canonical Entity Infrastructure
The transition from platform-mediated to AI-mediated markets represents not merely a technological shift but a fundamental restructuring of market coordination infrastructure. As AI systems become the primary intermediaries of discovery, comparison, reasoning, and transaction coordination, the representation of market entities transforms from a content concern into an infrastructure concern. This paper introduces Canonical Entity Infrastructure (CEI) as a foundational infrastructure layer for AI-mediated markets, analogous to DNS for navigation, payment rails for settlement, identity systems for authentication, or financial clearing infrastructure for settlement coordination. We argue that when AI systems mediate economic discovery through machine reasoning, entity identity becomes infrastructure. The form, portability, verification, and governance of canonical representations determine whether entities participate in AI-mediated consideration sets. Fragmented representations create coordination failure. Representation portability becomes market power. Verification becomes a trust primitive. Canonical resolution becomes a governance issue. AI systems require authoritative machine-readable entity layers. Representation ownership becomes economically strategic.
AI-Mediated Property Discovery Report 2026
The AI-Mediated Property Discovery Report 2026 presents the first comprehensive observational study of how AI systems discover, evaluate, compare, and select properties across diverse markets. Through systematic observation of AI response patterns across 50 real estate markets, thousands of AI responses, and documented selection events, this report establishes the empirical foundation for understanding AI-mediated property discovery. The report analyzes property selection behavior, identifies top selection signals, examines explainability patterns, measures representation effects, and documents citation sources that inform AI decision-making.
