CollectionPage signals that this page is an organized listing of content categories, not a single article.ItemList entry with a name and URL, so AI can discover your content taxonomy.BreadcrumbList places the topics page in your site hierarchy.Copy this prompt and paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any AI coding tool. It will ask for your business details and generate ready-to-use JSON-LD schema for your page.
You are implementing AIFDS-compliant JSON-LD structured data for a Publisher Publications page. AIFDS (AI-Friendly Data Structure) is a schema framework built on research into which structured data fields AI systems actually read, parse, and use when deciding whether to cite a page. Documentation at aifds.org. Before generating any code, ask me for the following information in a single numbered list. Do not generate schema until I have answered every required field. REQUIRED — do not proceed without these: 1. Domain 2. Faq answer 3. Faq question 4. Publication name 5. Topics page description 6. Topics page title 7. Topic OPTIONAL — ask for these but proceed if I skip them: 1. Any additional details not covered above Once I provide the information, output a complete JSON-LD script block ready to paste into the <head> of my HTML page. Output requirements: - Valid JSON-LD wrapped in <script type="application/ld+json"> tags - schema.org vocabulary only - Every AIFDS-required field for this industry and page type included - Include this data attribute on the script tag: data-aifds="aifds.org Publisher Publications" - No placeholder text — omit missing optional fields rather than fill with examples - After the code block, list any optional fields skipped that would strengthen AI citation
Generated schema follows the AIFDS framework. Fields were selected based on research into AI crawler behavior. View the research at minnesota.ai
Copy the template below and replace every YOUR_* value with your own data. This block belongs in a <script type="application/ld+json"> tag in the <head> of your publications page.

AI uses ItemList to understand the categorical structure of your publication. This helps AI recommend specific topic pages when users search for content in a particular category, rather than just linking to your homepage.
Yes. Each individual topic page should have its own CollectionPage markup listing the articles within that topic. The topics index page gives AI the overview; individual topic pages give AI the article-level detail.
List all your primary content categories. AI uses this to understand the full editorial scope of your publication. Five to fifteen topics is typical for a focused blog.
