MSP-1 Namespace Term
msp:description
Provides a human-readable summary that explains what an MSP-1 resource is about, what it covers, and why it exists.
Definition
msp:description supplies natural-language text that summarizes the resource being described. It helps agents, validators, and implementation tools understand the meaning, scope, and relevance of a resource without relying on inference from surrounding content alone.
A description may be expressed as a concise string or as a structured object when short, long, alternate, language, or update metadata is useful. The string form is the lean form. In object form, short provides the primary summary.
Usage
{
"msp:description": "A concise technical overview of the MSP-1 semantic protocol structure."
}
Structured description:
{
"msp:description": {
"short": "A concise technical overview of the MSP-1 semantic protocol structure.",
"long": "This resource explains the core structure, purpose, and implementation logic of the MSP-1 semantic protocol."
}
}
The description term summarizes what the resource is. It is related to name, intent, and interpretiveFrame, but it is not interchangeable with those terms.
