Bundle → Layer → Finding → Questions Derived, awaiting review

6 bundles · 13 layers · 15 findings · 45 questions

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

Classification and granularity

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

Distinguishing features

What separates a Somalia Medal from the things most often confused with it.

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

Material and composition

Materials, parts and how they are put together.

Parts and materials

What a Somalia Medal is built from and which parts are replaceable.

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

Condition, damage and health

How the condition of a Somalia Medal is judged and by whom.

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

Location and placement

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

Position, container and reference frame

Where a Somalia Medal is, and what that position is measured against.

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

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

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

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

Observations and current status

What is observed about a Somalia Medal, how often and by whom.

Observation record

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

  1. What identifies and describes an observation of a Somalia Medal, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about an observation of a Somalia Medal, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once an observation of a Somalia Medal is known, and what must it refuse? action
Use and operation What can be done with a Somalia Medal 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 Somalia Medal is for, and what it is used for anyway.

Function, purpose and misuse

The function a Somalia Medal performs and the uses that fall outside it.

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

Handling and procedure

The steps, skills and tools involved in using a Somalia Medal.

Procedures, skills and required tools

What an agent needs before it can act on a Somalia Medal at all.

  1. What identifies and describes handling a Somalia Medal, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about handling a Somalia Medal, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once handling a Somalia Medal is known, and what must it refuse? action
Provenance, evidence and time Where every claim about a Somalia Medal 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 Somalia Medal and how confident it is.

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

What it is Derived, awaiting review

A physical thing registered under PHY.OBJ. 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 Somalia Medal, record what state it is in, and decide what may be done with it.

Distinguishing features Derived, awaiting review

  • Described in 3 Wikipedia languages, which is a measure of how widely the thing is known, not of how important it is.

What robots and AI may and may not do Derived, awaiting review

May

  • observe it, measure it, record its state

Moral aspects Missing, in the backlog

Direct properties required Derived, awaiting review

  • Made of: matter you can touch
  • Mobility varies between examples.
  • 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 form and material. The registry holds no appearance data, so what a Somalia Medal looks like has to come from research.

Capabilities and actions required Derived, awaiting review

  • observed and measured

Hazards and failure modes required Missing, in the backlog

Not described yet. This gap is in the card backlog.

Standards and interfaces required Missing, in the backlog

Not described yet. This gap is in the card backlog.

Context of use required Derived, awaiting review

  • Described in 3 Wikipedia languages, which measures how widely it is written about rather than how important or how common it is.

Sources Missing, in the backlog

Not described yet. This gap is in the card backlog.
