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.

Written from the archetype playbook - what this kind of thing needs beyond identity and provenance - and from the structure that recurred across 6,333 models already researched by two engines. Applied to this entry by rule. No source was read for this thing and no claim here is researched. This entry carries no facets of its own, so they were inferred from its domain - a guess about a whole domain applied to one thing.

Generator: vr.draft.v3

Purpose and description

Give an agent a durable, checkable way to recognise a internet radio, record what state it is in, and decide what may be done with it.

A social thing registered under SOC.PER. The registry names it; this draft has not been given a definition yet.

It can be observed and measured.

Distinguishing features

Names folded into this entry, which a task may need to split apart again: Kurd FM.

1 finer distinctions are held as aliases rather than separate entries, because telling them apart needs a task that asks for it.

Described in 55 Wikipedia languages, which is a measure of how widely the thing is known, not of how important it is.

Physical character

Made of: a social arrangement between people.

Moves under its own power or of its own accord.

Acts on its own behalf.

These come from the domain this entry sits in rather than from the entry itself, so treat them as a first guess about the whole domain applied to one thing.

How it is recognised

Not recognisable by appearance, and guessing from dress or setting is how an agent gets this wrong. Recognised by qualification, licence or engagement.

Kurd FM

Described in 55 Wikipedia languages, which measures how widely it is written about rather than how important or how common it is. 1 finer distinctions are held inside this entry as names rather than as separate models.

Drafted structure

Bundle to layer to finding to question, as the second pass will find it: 7 bundles · 14 layers · 16 findings · 44 questions.

Identity, naming and classification How an agent tells one internet radio from another, and a internet radio 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 internet radio, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the name of a internet radio, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once the name of a internet radio 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 internet radio, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about an identifier for a internet radio, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once an identifier for a internet radio is known, and what must it refuse? action

Classification and granularity

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

Distinguishing features

What separates a internet radio from the things most often confused with it.

  1. What identifies and describes what distinguishes a internet radio, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about what distinguishes a internet radio, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once what distinguishes a internet radio is known, and what must it refuse? action
Place and movement Where a internet radio 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 internet radio is, and what that position is measured against.

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

Movement and transfer

How a internet radio moves on its own.

Movement events and constraints

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

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

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

Observations and current status

What is observed about a internet radio, how often and by whom.

Observation record

How an observation of a internet radio is recorded so that it can be superseded rather than overwritten.

  1. What identifies and describes an observation of a internet radio, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about an observation of a internet radio, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once an observation of a internet radio is known, and what must it refuse? action
People, roles and responsibility Who stands in what relation to a internet radio.

Social things are defined by the relations people hold to them, and those relations change without the thing changing.

Roles and parties

The roles that exist around a internet radio and who fills them.

Role assignments and their validity

Who holds which role over a internet radio, from when, and on whose authority.

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

  1. What identifies and describes responsibility for a internet radio, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about responsibility for a internet radio, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once responsibility for a internet radio is known, and what must it refuse? action
Competence, qualification and licence What someone must be able to do, and be permitted to do, as internet radio.

The permission is jurisdictional and the competence is not, and conflating them is how an agent concludes someone may practise when they may not.

Competences and qualifications

Skills and credentials the role assumes.

Qualifications and how they are evidenced

What counts as qualified, and what proves it.

  1. What competences and qualifications does internet radio require, and how is each evidenced? definition
  2. Which qualifications transfer between jurisdictions and which do not? boundary

Who grants permission, where it holds, and when it lapses.

Licence, issuer and validity

The permission, its issuer, its territory and its expiry.

  1. Who licenses internet radio, in which territory, and for how long? provenance
  2. What may an unlicensed person not do, and what must an agent refuse to assume? action
Tasks, employment and accountability What internet radio actually does and who answers for it.

A role is filled by people under an arrangement, and the arrangement decides liability, supervision and who may instruct whom.

Tasks and typical duties

The work itself, and how it differs by setting.

Duties and setting

What the role does and where the work varies.

  1. What tasks define internet radio, and how do they differ between settings or seniority? definition
  2. Which tasks may only be done by this role, and which are shared with neighbouring roles? boundary

Employment and accountability

The relation under which the work is done and where responsibility sits.

Responsibility and supervision

  2. When something goes wrong, what does the model need to have recorded to answer who was responsible? provenance
Provenance, evidence and time Where every claim about a internet radio 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 internet radio and how confident it is.

  1. What identifies and describes a claim about a internet radio, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about a claim about a internet radio, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once a claim about a internet radio 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.

  • Which of the bundles below does a real task actually need, and which are ceremony?
  • What does this thing have that the facets do not capture at all?
  • Which neighbouring kind is most often confused with a internet radio, and on what evidence are they told apart?
