+The `redpanda.otel_traces` topic stores OpenTelemetry spans using Redpanda's Schema Registry wire format, with a custom Protobuf schema named `redpanda.otel_traces-value` that follows the https://opentelemetry.io/docs/specs/otel/protocol/[OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP)^] specification. Spans include attributes following OpenTelemetry https://opentelemetry.io/docs/specs/semconv/gen-ai/[semantic conventions for generative AI^], such as `gen_ai.operation.name` and `gen_ai.conversation.id`. The schema is automatically registered in the Schema Registry with the topic, so Kafka clients can consume and deserialize trace data correctly.
