school garden
Give an agent a durable, checkable way to recognise a school garden, 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.

8 bundles · 17 layers · 19 findings · 53 questions
Identity, naming and classification How an agent tells one school garden from another, and a school garden 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.
- What identifies and describes the name of a school garden, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the name of a school garden, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the name of a school garden 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.
- What identifies and describes an identifier for a school garden, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about an identifier for a school garden, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once an identifier for a school garden is known, and what must it refuse? action
Classification and granularity
Where a school garden 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.
- What identifies and describes the kind of a school garden, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the kind of a school garden, by which method, and when was it true? provenance

Distinguishing features
What separates a school garden from the things most often confused with it.
- What identifies and describes what distinguishes a school garden, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about what distinguishes a school garden, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once what distinguishes a school garden is known, and what must it refuse? action
Form, composition and condition What a school garden 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 at geographic scale.
Measurable dimensions and their units
The quantities worth recording and the units they are recorded in.
- What identifies and describes the dimensions of a school garden, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the dimensions of a school garden, by which method, and when was it true? provenance

Materials, parts and how they are put together.
Parts and materials
What a school garden is built from and which parts are replaceable.
- What identifies and describes the composition of a school garden, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the composition of a school garden, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the composition of a school garden 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 school garden is judged and by whom.
- What identifies and describes the condition of a school garden, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the condition of a school garden, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the condition of a school garden is known, and what must it refuse? action
Place and movement Where a school garden is, how it got there and where it may go (fixed).
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 school garden is, and what that position is measured against.
- What identifies and describes the location of a school garden, and in what units or vocabulary? definition

- Who or what asserted this about the movement of a school garden, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the movement of a school garden is known, and what must it refuse? action
State and lifecycle The states a school garden 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.

From coming into existence to ceasing to be one of these.
Stages and transitions
The stages worth naming and what moves a school garden between them.
- What identifies and describes the lifecycle of a school garden, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the lifecycle of a school garden, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the lifecycle of a school garden is known, and what must it refuse? action
Observations and current status
What is observed about a school garden, how often and by whom.
Observation record
How an observation of a school garden is recorded so that it can be superseded rather than overwritten.
- What identifies and describes an observation of a school garden, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about an observation of a school garden, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once an observation of a school garden is known, and what must it refuse? action
Use and operation What can be done with a school garden and what it takes to do it.
An agent that can recognise a thing but not act on it has only half a model.
Intended use and function
What a school garden is for, and what it is used for anyway.
Function, purpose and misuse
The function a school garden performs and the uses that fall outside it.
- What identifies and describes the use of a school garden, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the use of a school garden, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the use of a school garden is known, and what must it refuse? action

What an agent needs before it can act on a school garden at all.
- What identifies and describes handling a school garden, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about handling a school garden, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once handling a school garden is known, and what must it refuse? action
Extent, geometry and naming Where school garden is, how far it reaches, and what it is called.
A boundary is claimed by an authority rather than observed in the world, so the claimant belongs in the record with the geometry.
Geometry and reference system
Coordinates, extent and the frame they are given in.
Geometry, precision and frame
What is recorded about position and shape, and to what accuracy.
- What geometry describes school garden, in which coordinate reference system, at what precision? measurement
- Which authority publishes that geometry, and who publishes a different one? provenance
Names and endonyms
What it is called in different languages and by different parties.
Names and who uses them
Official names, local names and contested names.
- By what names is school garden known, in which languages, and which are official to whom? definition
- Where naming is contested, what should an agent record instead of choosing? action
Containment, jurisdiction and access What school garden sits inside, who governs it, and who may enter.
Administrative containment decides which rules apply, and it changes without the place moving.
Administrative containment
The units it belongs to and the date each holds from.
Containing units and effective dates
Where it sits administratively and since when.
- Which administrative units contain school garden, and since when does each containment hold? definition
- Which containment is disputed, and by which parties? boundary
Access and permitted use
Who may enter or use it and under what conditions.
Access rules and their source

- Who may enter or use school garden, under what conditions, and by whose rule? action
- What seasonal or conditional closure applies, and how is it announced? definition
Provenance, evidence and time Where every claim about a school garden 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 school garden and how confident it is.
- What identifies and describes a claim about a school garden, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about a claim about a school garden, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once a claim about a school garden is known, and what must it refuse? action

How an old claim about a school garden is retired without being erased.
- What identifies and describes the validity of a claim about a school garden, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the validity of a claim about a school garden, by which method, and when was it true? provenance

- Stays where it was put; moving it is a project.
- Does nothing on its own; everything it does, something else did to it.
- 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.
Recognition required Derived, awaiting review
- Recognised by extent on the ground and by position, not by appearance. Two places that look alike are told apart by where they are.
Capabilities and actions required Derived, awaiting review
- observed and measured
- entered, crossed or travelled along
