Bundle → Layer → Finding → Questions Derived, awaiting review

6 bundles · 12 layers · 14 findings · 38 questions

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

  3. What may an agent decide or do once what distinguishes a extinction risk from global warming is known, and what must it refuse? action
State and lifecycle The states a extinction risk from global warming 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 extinction risk from global warming between them.

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

Observations and current status

What is observed about a extinction risk from global warming, how often and by whom.

Observation record

How an observation of a extinction risk from global warming is recorded so that it can be superseded rather than overwritten.

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

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

  1. What identifies and describes access to a extinction risk from global warming, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about access to a extinction risk from global warming, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once access to a extinction risk from global warming is known, and what must it refuse? action
Subject matter and method What extinction risk from global warming 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 extinction risk from global warming 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 extinction risk from global warming 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 extinction risk from global warming 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 extinction risk from global warming 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 extinction risk from global warming, under what codes? definition
  2. Where do those schemes disagree about its scope? boundary
Provenance, evidence and time Where every claim about a extinction risk from global warming 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 extinction risk from global warming and how confident it is.

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

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