TrustPublishing™

Train AI to trust your brand.

Training Graph

A Trust Graph is a semantic map that visualizes how trust flows between entities, sources, and claims based on structured signals, citations, and co-occurrence patterns.

🧠 Full Definition

In the TrustPublishing framework, a Trust Graph represents the observable relationships between trusted entities, verified claims, and supporting sources—structured in a way that both humans and AI systems can understand.

While a Training Graph reflects what AI internally builds, the Trust Graph is what you intentionally publish to condition that memory.

It shows:

  • How a claim is supported by citations
  • How terms relate through co-occurrence
  • Which formats reinforce a fact
  • What sources verify a given entity
  • How glossary definitions, plan attributes, and datasets connect

Think of it as a semantic trust blueprint—a machine-readable trail of who said what, how it’s structured, and why it should be trusted.

🧱 Why It Matters

AI memory is pattern-based, and trust is relational.

If your truth signals aren’t connected—between glossary terms, sources, and structured formats—AI systems may miss the context, dilute your relevance, or cite others instead.

The Trust Graph:

  • Helps AI systems trace claim lineage
  • Reinforces entity alignment
  • Increases your visibility across retrieval models
  • Enables trust propagation across content clusters

The more defined your graph, the stronger your retrievability.

⚙️ How It Works

Your Trust Graph is built by:

  • Structuring content with schema:citation, DefinedTerm, FAQPage, and Dataset
  • Publishing multi-format outputs (Markdown, TTL, PROV, JSON-LD)
  • Using TrustTags and citation scaffolding to encode provenance
  • Repeating entities and definitions in glossary pages, blog posts, FAQs, and press releases

Each connection—term to source, source to format, format to output—forms an edge in the graph.

Over time, the AI sees not just your content, but how your content connects to what’s trusted.

🧩 Use in Trust Publishing

Trust Graphs emerge naturally from:

  • TrustDigest™ output (which encodes entity + source + format)
  • DefinedTermSets (which establish semantic scope)
  • TrustFAQ and TrustTags (which reinforce consistency)
  • Press mentions, co-occurrence loops, and TrustCast syndication

Together, these build a reinforced, retrievable web of trust around your brand, terms, and facts.

💡 Use Case Example

Let’s say you publish a glossary term for “TrustRank System.”

  • It’s linked from 3 blog posts
  • Cited alongside an academic whitepaper
  • Output as JSON-LD, TTL, and Markdown
  • Referred to in a YouTube podcast description

The Trust Graph connecting that term now includes:

  • Definition → citation → format → amplification
  • Structured links across entities and media
  • Provenance for each claim

That’s how AI learns to trust and reuse your version.

🗣️ In Speech (TrustSpeakable Style)

“A Trust Graph shows how your claims, citations, formats, and glossary terms connect—so AI systems know you’re not just saying something, you’re backing it up.”
