German art
Give an agent a durable, checkable way to recognise a German art, 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.

6 bundles · 12 layers · 14 findings · 38 questions
Identity, naming and classification How an agent tells one German art from another, and a German art 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 German art, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the name of a German art, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the name of a German art 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 German art, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about an identifier for a German art, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once an identifier for a German art is known, and what must it refuse? action
Classification and granularity
Where a German art 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 German art, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the kind of a German art, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the kind of a German art is known, and what must it refuse? action
Distinguishing features
What separates a German art from the things most often confused with it.
- What identifies and describes what distinguishes a German art, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about what distinguishes a German art, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once what distinguishes a German art is known, and what must it refuse? action
State and lifecycle The states a German art 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 German art between them.
- What identifies and describes the lifecycle of a German art, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the lifecycle of a German art, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the lifecycle of a German art is known, and what must it refuse? action
Observations and current status
What is observed about a German art, how often and by whom.
Observation record
How an observation of a German art is recorded so that it can be superseded rather than overwritten.
- What identifies and describes an observation of a German art, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about an observation of a German art, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once an observation of a German art is known, and what must it refuse? action
Content, encoding and access What a German art says, how it is encoded and who may read it.
An informational thing carries content that can be copied, versioned and withheld, none of which its physical carrier explains.
Content and encoding
The content itself, its format and its language.
Content, format and language
What a German art contains and in what form it is held.
- What identifies and describes the content of a German art, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the content of a German art, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the content of a German art is known, and what must it refuse? action
Access, rights and retention
Who may read, copy or change it, and for how long it is kept.
Access rules and retention
The permissions attached to a German art and the period it survives.
- What identifies and describes access to a German art, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about access to a German art, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once access to a German art is known, and what must it refuse? action
Subject matter and method What German art 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 German art 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 German art establish claims, and what counts as sufficient evidence? provenance
- What kind of claim can this field not settle, and where should an agent look instead? action
Institutions and classification Where German art is practised and how catalogues place it.
The institutional footprint is the evidence that a field exists as a field rather than as a topic.
Institutional markers
Societies, journals, degrees and departments.
Bodies and venues
Where the field organises itself.
- Which societies, journals or degrees mark German art 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 German art, under what codes? definition
- Where do those schemes disagree about its scope? boundary
Provenance, evidence and time Where every claim about a German art 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 German art and how confident it is.
- What identifies and describes a claim about a German art, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about a claim about a German art, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once a claim about a German art 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 German art is retired without being erased.
- What identifies and describes the validity of a claim about a German art, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the validity of a claim about a German art, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the validity of a claim about a German art is known, and what must it refuse? action

What it is Derived, awaiting review
An informational thing registered under INF.KNW. The registry names it; this draft has not been given a definition yet.
Why it exists Derived, awaiting review
Give an agent a durable, checkable way to recognise a German art, record what state it is in, and decide what may be done with it.
Distinguishing features Derived, awaiting review

- 10 finer distinctions are held as aliases rather than separate entries, because telling them apart needs a task that asks for it.
- Described in 18 Wikipedia languages, which is a measure of how widely the thing is known, not of how important it is.
