+# Semantic Conventions for Vector databases
+
+**Status**: [Experimental][DocumentStatus]
+
+The Vector databases Semantic Conventions describes how common [Database Semantic Conventions](database-spans.md) apply to Vector databases.
+
+The following database systems (defined in the [`db.system`](./database-spans.md#notes-and-well-known-identifiers-for-dbsystem) set) are known to support vectors:
+
+- `cosmosdb` (technical preview)
+- `elasticsearch`
+- `postgresql` (using [pgvector](https://github.com/pgvector/pgvector))
+- `redis`
+
+Many other database systems support vector search.
+Instrumentations applied to generic vector databases SHOULD adhere to vector db semantic conventions.
+
+## Span Name
+
+The **span name** follows the [general database span name guidelines](database-spans.md#name) with the endpoint identifier stored in `db.operation.name`, and the index stored in `db.collection.name`.

+
+**[1] `db.operation.name`:** The `db.operation.name` SHOULD match the endpoint identifier provided in the request (e.g. build, insert, update, delete, search).
+
+**[2] `http.request.method`:** HTTP request method value SHOULD be "known" to the instrumentation.
+By default, this convention defines "known" methods as the ones listed in [RFC9110](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9110.html#name-methods)
+and the PATCH method defined in [RFC5789](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5789.html).
+
+If the HTTP request method is not known to instrumentation, it MUST set the `http.request.method` attribute to `_OTHER`.
+
+If the HTTP instrumentation could end up converting valid HTTP request methods to `_OTHER`, then it MUST provide a way to override
+the list of known HTTP methods. If this override is done via environment variable, then the environment variable MUST be named
+OTEL_INSTRUMENTATION_HTTP_KNOWN_METHODS and support a comma-separated list of case-sensitive known HTTP methods
+(this list MUST be a full override of the default known method, it is not a list of known methods in addition to the defaults).
+
+HTTP method names are case-sensitive and `http.request.method` attribute value MUST match a known HTTP method name exactly.
+Instrumentations for specific web frameworks that consider HTTP methods to be case insensitive, SHOULD populate a canonical equivalent.
+Tracing instrumentations that do so, MUST also set `http.request.method_original` to the original value.
+
+**[3] `url.full`:** For network calls, URL usually has `scheme://host[:port][path][?query][#fragment]` format, where the fragment
+is not transmitted over HTTP, but if it is known, it SHOULD be included nevertheless.
+
+`url.full` MUST NOT contain credentials passed via URL in form of `https://username:password@www.example.com/`.
+In such case username and password SHOULD be redacted and attribute's value SHOULD be `https://REDACTED:REDACTED@www.example.com/`.
+
+`url.full` SHOULD capture the absolute URL when it is available (or can be reconstructed).
+
+Sensitive content provided in `url.full` SHOULD be scrubbed when instrumentations can identify it.
+
+![Experimental](https://img.shields.io/badge/-experimental-blue)
+Query string values for the following keys SHOULD be redacted by default and replaced by the
+value `REDACTED`:
+
+* [`AWSAccessKeyId`](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/RESTAuthentication.html#RESTAuthenticationQueryStringAuth)
+* [`Signature`](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/RESTAuthentication.html#RESTAuthenticationQueryStringAuth)
+* [`sig`](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/storage/common/storage-sas-overview#sas-token)
+* [`X-Goog-Signature`](https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/access-control/signed-urls)
+
+This list is subject to change over time.
+
+When a query string value is redacted, the query string key SHOULD still be preserved, e.g.
+`https://www.example.com/path?color=blue&sig=REDACTED`.
+
+**[4] `db.record.id`:** Some vector databases identify a vector using an ID.
+
+**[5] `db.response.status_code`:** The status code returned by the database. Usually it represents an error code, but may also represent partial success, warning, or differentiate between various types of successful outcomes.
+Semantic conventions for individual database systems SHOULD document what `db.response.status_code` means in the context of that system.
+This attribute has stability level RELEASE CANDIDATE.
+
+**[6] `db.search.similarity_metric`:** Some vector databases allow specifying the similarity search during a search, while others only allow it when creating an index or collection.
+
+**[7] `db.vector.field_name`:** Some vector databases use a field name to store the vector.
+
+**[8] `db.vector.query.top_k`:** The top-k parameter is usually specified when executing a vector search (i.e. query)
+
+**[9] `error.type`:** The `error.type` SHOULD match the `db.response.status_code` returned by the database or the client library, or the canonical name of exception that occurred.
+When using canonical exception type name, instrumentation SHOULD do the best effort to report the most relevant type. For example, if the original exception is wrapped into a generic one, the original exception SHOULD be preferred.
+Instrumentations SHOULD document how `error.type` is populated.
+
+**[10] `server.port`:** When observed from the client side, and when communicating through an intermediary, `server.port` SHOULD represent the server port behind any intermediaries, for example proxies, if it's available.
+
+**[11] `server.port`:** If using a port other than the default port for this DBMS and if `server.address` is set.
+
+**[12] `db.collection.name`:** The query may target multiple indices or data streams, in which case it SHOULD be a comma separated list of those. If the query doesn't target a specific index, this field MUST NOT be set.
+
+**[13] `db.operation.batch.size`:** Operations are only considered batches when they contain two or more operations, and so `db.operation.batch.size` SHOULD never be `1`.
+This attribute has stability level RELEASE CANDIDATE.
+
+**[14] `db.query.text`:** For sanitization see [Sanitization of `db.query.text`](../../docs/database/database-spans.md#sanitization-of-dbquerytext).
+For batch operations, if the individual operations are known to have the same query text then that query text SHOULD be used, otherwise all of the individual query texts SHOULD be concatenated with separator `; ` or some other database system specific separator if more applicable.
+Even though parameterized query text can potentially have sensitive data, by using a parameterized query the user is giving a strong signal that any sensitive data will be passed as parameter values, and the benefit to observability of capturing the static part of the query text by default outweighs the risk.
+This attribute has stability level RELEASE CANDIDATE.
+
+**[15] `db.query.text`:** Should be collected by default for search-type queries and only if there is sanitization that excludes sensitive information and vector, if the size is too long.
+
+**[16] `db.vector.dimension_count`:** The dimension of a vector is typically defined when building an index/collection.
+
+**[17] `server.address`:** When observed from the client side, and when communicating through an intermediary, `server.address` SHOULD represent the server address behind any intermediaries, for example proxies, if it's available.
+
+The following attributes can be important for making sampling decisions
+and SHOULD be provided **at span creation time** (if provided at all):
+
+* [`db.collection.name`](/docs/attributes-registry/db.md)
+* [`db.operation.name`](/docs/attributes-registry/db.md)
+* [`db.query.text`](/docs/attributes-registry/db.md)
