Bundle → Layer → Finding → Questions Derived, awaiting review

6 bundles · 12 layers · 14 findings · 38 questions

Identity, naming and classification How an agent tells one Asian art from another, and a Asian 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.

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

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

Classification and granularity

Where a Asian 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.

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

Distinguishing features

What separates a Asian art from the things most often confused with it.

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

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

Observations and current status

What is observed about a Asian art, how often and by whom.

Observation record

How an observation of a Asian art is recorded so that it can be superseded rather than overwritten.

  1. What identifies and describes an observation of a Asian art, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about an observation of a Asian art, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once an observation of a Asian art is known, and what must it refuse? action
Content, encoding and access What a Asian 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 Asian art contains and in what form it is held.

  1. What identifies and describes the content of a Asian art, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the content of a Asian art, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once the content of a Asian 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 Asian art and the period it survives.

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

  1. What questions and objects does Asian art take as its own? definition
  2. 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.

  1. By what methods does Asian art establish claims, and what counts as sufficient evidence? provenance
  2. What kind of claim can this field not settle, and where should an agent look instead? action
Institutions and classification Where Asian 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.

  1. Which societies, journals or degrees mark Asian art as an established field? provenance
  2. 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.

  1. Which classification schemes place Asian art, under what codes? definition
  2. Where do those schemes disagree about its scope? boundary
Provenance, evidence and time Where every claim about a Asian 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 Asian art and how confident it is.

  1. What identifies and describes a claim about a Asian art, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about a claim about a Asian art, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once a claim about a Asian 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 Asian art is retired without being erased.

  1. What identifies and describes the validity of a claim about a Asian art, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the validity of a claim about a Asian art, 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 Asian 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 Asian art, record what state it is in, and decide what may be done with it.

Distinguishing features Derived, awaiting review

  • Names folded into this entry, which a task may need to split apart again: South Asian art, Bruneian art, Singaporean art, East Timor art, Southeast Asian arts, Asian visual art, architecture of Asia, art of East Asia, art of North Asia, art of Turkmen Anatolia and the first Ottomans, Central Asian art, Indo-Chinese visual art.
  • 14 finer distinctions are held as aliases rather than separate entries, because telling them apart needs a task that asks for it.
  • Described in 7 Wikipedia languages, which is a measure of how widely the thing is known, not of how important it is.
