+The extensions property appears on the AI Catalog top-level object,

-Key Naming

-Metadata keys MUST be non-empty strings. To avoid collisions between

-
-Reverse-DNS prefix for vendor-specific keys:
+Format and Key Naming
+
+The extensions field is an array of objects. Each object MUST contain
+a type string and a data object.
+
+To avoid collisions between independent publishers, the type field MUST
+be a valid URL or a reverse-DNS string:
+
+Reverse-DNS prefix for vendor-specific extensions:
 com.example.confidenceScore, io.acme.deploymentRegion.
 
-Short, unqualified names for keys the publisher considers
-broadly useful and unlikely to conflict: repository, homepage,
-license.
-
-Avoid keys that duplicate defined catalog fields (displayName,
-description, tags, version). Consumers MAY ignore metadata
-entries that shadow standard fields.
-
-Reserved Keys
-
-No metadata keys are reserved by this specification. Future
-specification versions MAY promote commonly used metadata keys into
-standard fields. When this occurs, the metadata key SHOULD be
-retained for backward compatibility and the standard field takes
-precedence.
-
-Value Types
-
-Metadata values MAY be any valid JSON type (string, number, boolean,
-array, object, null). Consumers that do not recognize a metadata key
-SHOULD ignore it.
+URL prefix for publicly accessible extension schemas:
+https://cisco.com/extensions/security-scan.
+
+Consumers that do not recognize an extension type MUST ignore it without
+throwing an error.
+
+Official Extensions
+
+While publishers are free to create custom extensions, this specification
+defines a set of "Official" known types for commonly requested schemas:
+
+Metadata (https://ai-catalog.org/extensions/metadata)
+- Used to store generic, schemaless key-value pairs (replacing the legacy metadata field).
+
+SBOM (https://ai-catalog.org/extensions/sbom)
+- Used to embed or link to a Software Bill of Materials for the catalog entry.
+
+As custom extensions become highly popular, the AI-Catalog TSC may promote
+them to Official Known Types or core standard fields in future specification versions.
