AQA Standard is the second level of the AQA standard. It adds date metadata (dateCreated, dateModified), source citation and linguistic context to FAQs.
What is AQA Standard?
The AQA Standard level enriches AQA Basic markup with essential AI metadata. This additional information allows language models to assess the freshness and reliability of your answers.
Additional Requirements
- dateCreated: FAQ creation date in ISO 8601 format
- dateModified: Last modification date, allowing AIs to judge freshness
- Source Citation: Reference to the original source or information authority
- Linguistic Context: Language declaration (inLanguage) for multilingual processing
Impact on AI Visibility
Grounding models use dates to prioritize recent information. A FAQ with a recent dateModified will be preferred over one without dates. Source citation strengthens credibility and increases the chances that AIs use your content for their responses. Moving to AQA Full completes this optimization.
