About Made Mark
Made Mark answers the question no existing specification addresses: how was this content made? A CC license tells you what you can do with content. C2PA tells you whether a file is untampered. Made Mark tells you who — or what — made it, in words anyone can read.
The idea is seven hundred years old. A hallmark stamps who made an object and to what standard — from the silversmith's punch to the Roycroft mark. Made Mark brings that to digital content: three base marks, kept few, with optional modifiers for model, provider, and source license.
The specification is public domain. Use it, implement it, build on it.
Stewardship
Made Mark is currently administered by Daniel Richard Skrok. The openness lives in the specification (CC0); the protection lives in the signal — the name and logo are trademarked so that a Made Mark label always means what it says.
A governance policy covers administration, misuse handling, and the conditions under which stewardship would transfer to a standards body.
This site
How mademark.org itself is made — tools, authorship, and its own Made Mark label — is documented in the colophon.
