9 bundles · 20 layers · 22 findings · 60 questions

Identity, naming and classification How an agent tells one EMC complex from another, and a EMC complex 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 EMC complex, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the name of a EMC complex, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once the name of a EMC complex 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 EMC complex, and in what units or vocabulary? definition

Form, composition and condition What a EMC complex 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.

  1. What identifies and describes the dimensions of a EMC complex, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the dimensions of a EMC complex, by which method, and when was it true? provenance

  3. What may an agent decide or do once the condition of a EMC complex is known, and what must it refuse? action
Place and movement Where a EMC complex is, how it got there and where it may go (varies).

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.

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

  3. What may an agent decide or do once the supply of a EMC complex is known, and what must it refuse? action
Composition, grade and chemical identity What EMC complex is made of and how pure the thing in hand is.

Grade decides what a substance may be used for, so a model that records only the name cannot support any decision about use.

Chemical identity

Formula, structure and the registry numbers that name it unambiguously.

Identity and registry numbers

What identifies this substance across suppliers and regulators.

  1. What formula, structure and registry identifiers name EMC complex unambiguously? definition
  2. Which related substances share a name in common use but not an identifier? boundary

Grade, purity and impurities

The specification a batch meets and what else is in it.

Specification and assay

How purity is stated and measured, and which impurities matter.

  1. What grades of EMC complex exist, how is purity assayed, and which impurities are limited? measurement
  2. Which use requires which grade, and what happens when a lower grade is substituted? action
Properties and behaviour How EMC complex behaves under conditions an agent can measure or change.

Physical constants are the part of a substance model that transfers between contexts, and each needs its unit and its conditions.

Physical constants

Values that hold for the pure substance, with their conditions.

Constants and conditions

The quantities worth recording and the state they apply in.

  1. What are the defining physical constants of EMC complex, in what units and under what conditions? measurement

  1. What is EMC complex incompatible with, and what does it degrade into under storage? definition
  2. What storage and handling does that require, and who is competent to do it? action
Hazard classification and regulation How EMC complex can harm, and what the law says about holding and moving it.

A substance model without its hazard class and its regulatory identity is unusable in exactly the situations that matter.

Hazard classification

Classified hazards, exposure limits and protective measures.

Classified hazards and limits

The classification, the scheme it belongs to, and the limits set.

  1. How is EMC complex classified for hazard, under which scheme, and what exposure limits apply? definition
  2. What protection does handling require, and what must an agent refuse to do without it? action

Regulatory identity and control

Registration, restriction and transport rules by jurisdiction.

Controls and jurisdiction

Where it is restricted and what the restriction attaches to.

  1. Which registrations, restrictions or transport rules cover EMC complex, and where? provenance
  2. Does the control attach to the substance, its concentration, or its intended use? boundary
Provenance, evidence and time Where every claim about a EMC complex 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.

The authority behind each claim about a EMC complex and how confident it is.

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

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

Validity period and supersession

How an old claim about a EMC complex is retired without being erased.

  1. What identifies and describes the validity of a claim about a EMC complex, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the validity of a claim about a EMC complex, 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 EMC complex is known, and what must it refuse? action
