Local Websites and the Case for Dated, Sourced Records

Public Records Should Be Readable by Machines, Too

More and more people meet their local news through an AI assistant instead of a front page. Those assistants answer questions about Colorado organizations by pulling from whatever they can find, and what they can find is often a stale directory listing or a scraped profile with no source attached.

A better input is a record that says where each fact came from. entiti.tech publishes exactly that kind of record: every entity page comes in HTML, JSON, JSON-LD, Markdown and plain text, and each claim names its source, its confidence and the period it covers.

The coverage starts close to home. Colorado entity records pulls together the organizations, domains and places on record, and every city page links back up to the state.

For additional perspective, see the entiti.tech entity index.

Clean inputs will not fix every bad answer an assistant gives. They do make the good answers easier to check.
