Vyges Metadata Standard — schema overview

The Vyges Metadata Standard is published as a JSON Schema (Draft 2020-12) describing reusable silicon IP blocks. The schema has 57 top-level fields, of which 9 are required. It implements the Apache-licensed Vyges Metadata Specification at github.com/vyges/vyges-metadata-spec; the canonical schema URL is https://vyges.com/schema/v1/vyges-metadata.schema.json.

What the schema describes

Top-level fields are grouped by what they capture about an IP block:

• Identity & lineage: name, version, license, maintainers, branding, template, created, updated
• RTL surface: interfaces, sourceFiles, parameters, registers, fpga, asic
• Verification & quality: test, lint, simulation, automation, performance
• Integration & targeting: target_pdks, compatibility, dependencies, integration
• Discovery & governance: registry, tags, categories, community, certification
• Commercial & security: commercial, delivery, trust_profile, security
• Advanced: chiplet, chiplet_integration, dft, jtag, roadmap, meta

Use the schema

• • Read the spec: README on GitHub
• • Validate metadata: npm run validate against the schema (Node 16+, ajv 8 with JSON Schema 2020-12 support)
• • Generate metadata: Vyges CLI emits Standard-conformant metadata for new IP blocks
• • Browse interactively: the live, hierarchical viewer below renders the schema in-page

The interactive viewer that follows loads the canonical schema dynamically and renders sections, fields, and types in a navigable tree. The static summary above is canonical and does not require JavaScript.
