Open Knowledge Format v0.2 simplifies AI-friendly Markdown organization

The Open Knowledge Format (OKF) v0.2 is a specification designed for organizing directories of Markdown files with YAML frontmatter, intended for both human and AI consumption. The format requires only a 'type' field in the frontmatter, with 'title', 'description', 'resource', and 'tags' being recommended optional fields. The specification also includes optional fields for trust, lifecycle, and provenance, and outlines conformance rules such as ensuring all non-reserved Markdown files have parseable YAML frontmatter with a non-empty type.
