Does DDEX's own Knowledge Base or implementation guidance say anything about populating ContainsAI or AiContribution beyond the schema and Data Dictionary, and where do DDEX's own documents disagree or stay silent?

Scoped negative: in the Knowledge Base navigation (about 400 article titles, page last-modified 2026-10-06), in 14 targeted KB articles and in the ERN Part 1 sections read, no DDEX implementation guidance on populating ContainsAI or AiContribution was found; the AI fields appear only in the release-notes annex, the Data Dictionary and the value set. Within those, the Data Dictionary describes ContainsAI as a true/false Flag while the value set is three-valued (All / Partly / None); the Release-level row states no consistency rule; and DDEX's "unknown" convention (#unknown#) is for mandatory elements, so it does not supply the "unknown" value that YouTube's CSV accepts. These are observations of silence and wording, not defects proven in the standard. Curator qualifications: No DDEX implementation guidance found within the stated scope (about 400 KB titles, 14 articles, ERN Part 1 sections). Boolean-flag wording vs three-valued set kept as an internal DDEX inconsistency. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
