Give an agent a durable, checkable way to recognise a Diploma of Advanced Studies, record what state it is in, and decide what may be done with it.
Generated draft, first pass
This model was drafted by rule from what the registry knows about the thing. It proposes which bundles a real model will need and which questions research must answer. It is not researched and no sentence in it is sourced.

- What identifies and describes the name of a Diploma of Advanced Studies, and in what units or vocabulary? definition

Identifiers that keep pointing at this kind of thing across systems and languages.
- What identifies and describes an identifier for a Diploma of Advanced Studies, and in what units or vocabulary? definition

What separates a Diploma of Advanced Studies from the things most often confused with it.
- What identifies and describes what distinguishes a Diploma of Advanced Studies, and in what units or vocabulary? definition

- What may an agent decide or do once what distinguishes a Diploma of Advanced Studies is known, and what must it refuse? action
State and lifecycle The states a Diploma of Advanced Studies passes through and the events that move it between them.
Most decisions about a thing depend on what state it is in now, which is a claim with a time on it, not a property.
Lifecycle stages
From coming into existence to ceasing to be one of these.

The stages worth naming and what moves a Diploma of Advanced Studies between them.
- What identifies and describes the lifecycle of a Diploma of Advanced Studies, and in what units or vocabulary? definition

Subject matter and method What Diploma of Advanced Studies studies and how it establishes anything.
A field is identified by its questions and its methods, and those are what distinguish it from the fields next to it.
Subject matter
The questions it takes as its own.
Questions and objects of study
What it is about, stated so a neighbouring field can be told apart.
- What questions and objects does Diploma of Advanced Studies take as its own? definition
- Which questions does it share with a neighbouring field, and who claims them? boundary
Method and evidence
How claims are established and what counts as evidence.
Methods and standards of evidence
The methods used and what they are taken to establish.
- By what methods does Diploma of Advanced Studies establish claims, and what counts as sufficient evidence? provenance

Institutional markers
Societies, journals, degrees and departments.
Bodies and venues
Where the field organises itself.
- Which societies, journals or degrees mark Diploma of Advanced Studies as an established field? provenance
- What would show that it is emerging or dissolving rather than established? boundary
Classification schemes
Where library and research classifications put it.
Codes and their disagreements
The classification codes that place it, and where they differ.
- Which classification schemes place Diploma of Advanced Studies, under what codes? definition
- Where do those schemes disagree about its scope? boundary
Provenance, evidence and time Where every claim about a Diploma of Advanced Studies came from and when it held.
A claim without a source and a time cannot be superseded, only overwritten, and an agent that overwrites loses the ability to explain itself.

How an old claim about a Diploma of Advanced Studies is retired without being erased.
- What identifies and describes the validity of a claim about a Diploma of Advanced Studies, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
