Thing Registry Information and virtual systems

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.

Written from the archetype playbook - what this kind of thing needs beyond identity and provenance - and from the structure that recurred across 6,333 models already researched by two engines. Applied to this entry by rule. No source was read for this thing and no claim here is researched. This entry carries no facets of its own, so they were inferred from its domain - a guess about a whole domain applied to one thing.

Generator: vr.draft.v3

Purpose and description

Give an agent a durable, checkable way to recognise a ankylosing spondylitis, record what state it is in, and decide what may be done with it.

An informational thing registered under INF.KNW. The registry names it; this draft has not been given a definition yet.

It can be read and interpreted.

Distinguishing features

Names folded into this entry, which a task may need to split apart again: ankylosing spondylitis 3, ankylosing spondylitis 2, ankylosing spondylitis 1, juvenile ankylosing spondylitis.

4 finer distinctions are held as aliases rather than separate entries, because telling them apart needs a task that asks for it.

Described in 57 Wikipedia languages, which is a measure of how widely the thing is known, not of how important it is.

Physical character

Made of: content that has to be carried by something else.

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.

How it is recognised

Recognised by criteria applied to signs and findings, not by appearance. Two conditions can look identical and be distinguished only by test.

Related models

covers - Finer kinds folded into this entry because telling them apart needs a task that asks for it. Each is a model waiting to be split out when one does.

Drafted structure

Bundle to layer to finding to question, as the second pass will find it: 6 bundles · 12 layers · 14 findings · 38 questions.

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

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

  2. Who or what asserted this about what distinguishes a ankylosing spondylitis, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once what distinguishes a ankylosing spondylitis is known, and what must it refuse? action
State and lifecycle The states a ankylosing spondylitis 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 ankylosing spondylitis between them.

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

Observations and current status

What is observed about a ankylosing spondylitis, how often and by whom.

Observation record

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

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

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

Access, rights and retention

  1. What identifies and describes access to a ankylosing spondylitis, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about access to a ankylosing spondylitis, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once access to a ankylosing spondylitis is known, and what must it refuse? action
Diagnosis, criteria and coding What makes a case of ankylosing spondylitis a case, and under which revision.

Criteria change between revisions, so a diagnosis without its coding revision cannot be compared with a later one.

Diagnostic criteria

The criteria in force and who issues them.

Criteria, issuer and revision

What must be true for a diagnosis, according to whom.

  1. What criteria define ankylosing spondylitis, issued by which body, in which revision? definition
  2. What changed between revisions that would reclassify existing cases? boundary

Coding and terminology

The codes used to record it and their mapping.

Codes and mappings

Which classification codes apply and how they map.

  1. Which classification and terminology codes cover ankylosing spondylitis, and how do they map to each other? definition
  2. What is lost when a case is mapped from one scheme to another? boundary
Course, population and care How ankylosing spondylitis develops, whom it affects, and what is done about it.

The condition, the diagnosis and the episode of care are three different things, and an agent must not merge them.

Course and stages

Onset, progression, remission and outcome.

Stages and transitions

The stages recorded and what moves a case between them.

  1. What course does ankylosing spondylitis typically take, and what marks each stage? definition
  2. What separates the condition itself from an episode of care for it? boundary

Affected populations

Who is affected, how often, and on what evidence.

Prevalence and its basis

Rates with their population, period and source.

  1. What prevalence or incidence is reported for ankylosing spondylitis, in which population and period? measurement
  2. What may an agent not conclude about an individual from a population rate? action
Provenance, evidence and time Where every claim about a ankylosing spondylitis 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 ankylosing spondylitis and how confident it is.

  1. What identifies and describes a claim about a ankylosing spondylitis, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about a claim about a ankylosing spondylitis, by which method, and when was it true? provenance

Validity period and supersession

How an old claim about a ankylosing spondylitis is retired without being erased.

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

What the second pass must settle

  • Which of the bundles below does a real task actually need, and which are ceremony?
  • What does this thing have that the facets do not capture at all?
  • Which neighbouring kind is most often confused with a ankylosing spondylitis, and on what evidence are they told apart?
