Bundle → Layer → Finding → Questions Derived, awaiting review

8 bundles · 17 layers · 19 findings · 51 questions

Identity, naming and classification How an agent tells one germ cell tumor from another, and a germ cell tumor from things that resemble it.

Recognition comes before every other claim. Without stable identity nothing else in the model can be trusted to be about the same thing twice.

Names and identifiers

The names this thing goes by and the identifiers that survive translation and time.

Preferred name, aliases and local names

Which name to use, which names mean the same thing, and which merely sound similar.

  1. What identifies and describes the name of a germ cell tumor, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the name of a germ cell tumor, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once the name of a germ cell tumor is known, and what must it refuse? action

Stable identifiers and external keys

Identifiers that keep pointing at this kind of thing across systems and languages.

  1. What identifies and describes an identifier for a germ cell tumor, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about an identifier for a germ cell tumor, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once an identifier for a germ cell tumor is known, and what must it refuse? action

Classification and granularity

Where a germ cell tumor sits among kinds, and how finely a task needs to cut it.

Kind, parents and neighbouring kinds

The classes this thing belongs to and the ones it is next to.

  1. What identifies and describes the kind of a germ cell tumor, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the kind of a germ cell tumor, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once the kind of a germ cell tumor is known, and what must it refuse? action

Distinguishing features

What separates a germ cell tumor from the things most often confused with it.

  1. What identifies and describes what distinguishes a germ cell tumor, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about what distinguishes a germ cell tumor, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once what distinguishes a germ cell tumor is known, and what must it refuse? action
Form, composition and condition What a germ cell tumor is made of, what shape and size it takes, and what state it is in.

A physical thing can be measured, and a model that cannot record its measurements cannot support any decision that depends on them.

Form and dimensions

Shape, size, mass and the ranges these take across examples.

Measurable dimensions and their units

The quantities worth recording and the units they are recorded in.

  1. What identifies and describes the dimensions of a germ cell tumor, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the dimensions of a germ cell tumor, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once the dimensions of a germ cell tumor is known, and what must it refuse? action

Material and composition

Anatomy, parts and life stage.

Parts and life stages

The parts of a germ cell tumor and the stages it passes through.

  1. What identifies and describes the composition of a germ cell tumor, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the composition of a germ cell tumor, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once the composition of a germ cell tumor is known, and what must it refuse? action

Condition and integrity

Wear, damage, health and the difference between working and broken.

Condition, damage and health

How the condition of a germ cell tumor is judged and by whom.

  1. What identifies and describes the condition of a germ cell tumor, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the condition of a germ cell tumor, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once the condition of a germ cell tumor is known, and what must it refuse? action
Place and movement Where a germ cell tumor is, how it got there and where it may go (self-moving).

A thing that can move needs its position recorded with a time, or every later claim about it is about a place it has left.

Location and placement

Position, containment and the reference frame the position is given in.

Position, container and reference frame

Where a germ cell tumor is, and what that position is measured against.

  1. What identifies and describes the location of a germ cell tumor, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the location of a germ cell tumor, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once the location of a germ cell tumor is known, and what must it refuse? action

Movement and transfer

How a germ cell tumor moves on its own.

What counts as a movement, what records it and what limits it.

  1. What identifies and describes the movement of a germ cell tumor, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the movement of a germ cell tumor, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once the movement of a germ cell tumor is known, and what must it refuse? action
State and lifecycle The states a germ cell tumor 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.

Stages and transitions

The stages worth naming and what moves a germ cell tumor between them.

  1. What identifies and describes the lifecycle of a germ cell tumor, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the lifecycle of a germ cell tumor, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once the lifecycle of a germ cell tumor is known, and what must it refuse? action

Observations and current status

What is observed about a germ cell tumor, how often and by whom.

Observation record

How an observation of a germ cell tumor is recorded so that it can be superseded rather than overwritten.

  1. What identifies and describes an observation of a germ cell tumor, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about an observation of a germ cell tumor, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once an observation of a germ cell tumor is known, and what must it refuse? action
Taxonomic placement and identification What germ cell tumor is called scientifically, by whose authority, and how a specimen is recognised.

Names change with revisions while the organism does not, so a name without its authority and date cannot be reconciled later.

Accepted name and synonymy

The current binomial, its author and date, and the names it replaced.

Accepted name, authority and synonyms

What to record so a later revision can be applied without losing the old data.

  1. What is the accepted scientific name of germ cell tumor, with its author and year, and which synonyms does it absorb? definition
  2. Which taxonomic authority is being followed, and what would a competing authority say? provenance

Field identification

The characters that separate germ cell tumor from what it is confused with.

Diagnostic characters and confusable kinds

Features that settle an identification, and those that only suggest it.

  1. Which observable characters distinguish germ cell tumor from its closest look-alikes, and at which life stage are they visible? boundary
  2. What evidence is enough to record an identification as confirmed rather than provisional? provenance
Life stages, condition and behaviour What germ cell tumor does over its life and how its state is judged.

Stage and condition change what may be done - handled, treated, harvested, left alone - and both are observations with a time.

Stages and reproduction

Development from origin to death, including forms that look like different animals.

Life stages and their marks

The stages worth recording and what tells them apart.

  1. What stages does germ cell tumor pass through, and what observable change marks each transition? definition
  2. Which stages are so unlike the adult that they are mistaken for another kind? boundary

Health and condition

How condition is assessed and by whom.

Condition assessment

Signs of health, injury and stress, and who is competent to judge them.

  1. How is the condition of germ cell tumor judged, on what scale, and by whom? measurement
  2. What condition obliges an agent to act, and what act is permitted to whom? action
Habitat, range and conservation status Where germ cell tumor lives and how threatened it is.

Range and status govern what is lawful, and both are assessments with an assessor and a year rather than facts of nature.

Habitat and range

Native range, introductions and the habitat it needs.

Range, introductions and habitat

What to record about where it is found and how it got there.

  1. What is the native range of germ cell tumor, where has it been introduced, and what habitat does it require? definition
  2. What distinguishes a native record from an introduced or vagrant one? boundary

Protection and legal status

Conservation assessments and the rules that follow from them.

Conservation status and legal consequence

The assessment, its date, and what it forbids or requires where.

  1. What conservation status does germ cell tumor hold, under which assessment and year? provenance
  2. What does that status forbid or require of an agent, and in which jurisdiction? action
Provenance, evidence and time Where every claim about a germ cell tumor 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.

Source and authority

Who said it, on what evidence, and how strongly.

Claim provenance and confidence

The authority behind each claim about a germ cell tumor and how confident it is.

  1. What identifies and describes a claim about a germ cell tumor, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about a claim about a germ cell tumor, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once a claim about a germ cell tumor is known, and what must it refuse? action

Time, versions and supersession

When a claim was true, when it was learnt, and what replaced it.

Validity period and supersession

How an old claim about a germ cell tumor is retired without being erased.

  1. What identifies and describes the validity of a claim about a germ cell tumor, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the validity of a claim about a germ cell tumor, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once the validity of a claim about a germ cell tumor is known, and what must it refuse? action
