Proposed Group: AI Agent Memory Interoperability Community Group Community Group
The AI Agent Memory Interoperability Community Group Community Group has been proposed by Russell Jackson:
The AI Agent Memory Interoperability Community Group exists to develop, evolve, and document an open protocol-level specification for AI agent memory that is portable across vendors, models, agent frameworks, and tool ecosystems.
The Group’s scope covers:
- Memory cell shape (encrypted unit with canonical metadata).
- Identity binding (post-quantum signature schemes, with ML-DSA-65 / NIST FIPS-204 as the primary reference).
- Encryption envelope semantics (per-cell DEK; wallet-derived KEK; rotation versioning).
- Audit anchor properties (public-chain receipts; verifiability without trusting the operator).
- Sharing contracts (temporary, permanent, syndicate; revocation semantics).
- Cryptographic erasure (DEK destruction + tombstone + content-address blacklist) aligned with GDPR Article 17.
- Crosswalks to leading regulatory frameworks (NIST AI RMF 1.0, ISO/IEC 42001:2023, ISO/IEC 27001:2022, EU AI Act 2024/1689) and protocol ecosystems (MCP, AAIF).
Out of scope:
- Specific blockchain selection (the protocol is chain-agnostic).
- Vector-database semantics (orthogonal).
- Agent runtime semantics (covered by other forums, e.g., AAIF goose project, custom frameworks).
- Tool-routing semantics (covered by MCP).
This group may publish Specifications.
You are invited to support the creation of this group. Once the group has a total of 5 supporters, it will be launched and people can join to begin work. In order to support the group, you will need a W3C account.
Once launched, the group will no longer be listed as “proposed”; it will be in the list of current groups.
If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires the attention of the W3C staff, please send us email on site-comments@w3.org
Thank you,
