Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

What it is Filled

A shared contract for identifiers, aliases, same-as claims, merge/split and reversible mappings.

Why it exists Filled

A shared contract for identifiers, aliases, same-as claims, merge/split and reversible mappings.

Distinguishing features Derived, awaiting review

  • An ID is qualified by scheme and issuer
  • An email match is not sufficient
  • A merge has a history and a reversal plan

What robots and AI may and may not do Derived, awaiting review

Must not

  • Negative case: HR, tracker and git create three Persons, or get merged by name.

Note: Negative case of the research brief, not yet a rule for agents.
