The 'knowledge-linkset' Well-Known URI for Publishing Knowledge Artefacts is an agentic-web standard (well-known file) at step 1, Discover, governed by Individual Internet-Draft, not adopted by a working group; its own status is "Internet-Draft, Intended Status: Informational; expires 17 April 2027; work in progress" (draft). It answers: How can a web origin publish, at one well-known location, a checkable list of the knowledge artefacts it offers (graph serializations, JSON-LD context, text file, chunk export, change ledger) so that agents can find them and verify digests? Adoption is unmeasured, last verified 2026-10-18.

[Discover](/category/discover/) Defines the well-known URI /.well-known/knowledge-linkset, where an origin serves a single RFC 9264 link set (application/linkset+json) listing its knowledge artefacts such as graph serializations, a JSON-LD context, an agent-facing text file, a chunk export and a change ledger. Links may carry SHA-256 digests using HTTP digest field syntax, and a profile URI identifies the conventions followed. It defines no new media type or link relation; pages point to it with 'describedby'. It is an individual Informational Internet-Draft.

## Discovery and probe

well-known URI serving an application/linkset+json link set, with a profile URI; pages point to it with the 'describedby' relation · /.well-known/knowledge-linkset

```
GET /.well-known/knowledge-linkset
parse:     Check for HTTP 200 with Content-Type application/linkset+json carrying the profile https://w3id.org/agentic-system-core/profile/agentic-knowledge (or a Link rel=profile header); parse JSON with a single top-level 'linkset' member.
on absent: Treat as not supported (404 or no linkset JSON).
