soap dish
Give an agent a durable, checkable way to recognise a soap dish, 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.

Identity, naming and classification How an agent tells one soap dish from another, and a soap dish 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 soap dish, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the name of a soap dish, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the name of a soap dish 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 soap dish, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about an identifier for a soap dish, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once an identifier for a soap dish is known, and what must it refuse? action
Classification and granularity
Where a soap dish 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 soap dish, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the kind of a soap dish, by which method, and when was it true? provenance

What separates a soap dish from the things most often confused with it.
- What identifies and describes what distinguishes a soap dish, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about what distinguishes a soap dish, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once what distinguishes a soap dish is known, and what must it refuse? action
Form, composition and condition What a soap dish 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.
- What identifies and describes the dimensions of a soap dish, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the dimensions of a soap dish, by which method, and when was it true? provenance

- What identifies and describes the condition of a soap dish, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the condition of a soap dish, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the condition of a soap dish is known, and what must it refuse? action
Place and movement Where a soap dish 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 soap dish is, and what that position is measured against.
- What identifies and describes the location of a soap dish, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the location of a soap dish, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the location of a soap dish is known, and what must it refuse? action

How a soap dish is carried, installed or relocated.
Movement events and constraints
What counts as a movement, what records it and what limits it.
- What identifies and describes the movement of a soap dish, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the movement of a soap dish, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the movement of a soap dish is known, and what must it refuse? action
State and lifecycle The states a soap dish 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.

From coming into existence to ceasing to be one of these.
Stages and transitions
The stages worth naming and what moves a soap dish between them.
- What identifies and describes the lifecycle of a soap dish, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the lifecycle of a soap dish, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the lifecycle of a soap dish is known, and what must it refuse? action
Observations and current status
What is observed about a soap dish, how often and by whom.
Observation record
How an observation of a soap dish is recorded so that it can be superseded rather than overwritten.
- What identifies and describes an observation of a soap dish, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about an observation of a soap dish, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once an observation of a soap dish is known, and what must it refuse? action
Use and operation What can be done with a soap dish 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 soap dish is for, and what it is used for anyway.
Function, purpose and misuse
The function a soap dish performs and the uses that fall outside it.
- What identifies and describes the use of a soap dish, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the use of a soap dish, by which method, and when was it true? provenance

- What identifies and describes handling a soap dish, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about handling a soap dish, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once handling a soap dish is known, and what must it refuse? action
Composition, preparation and storage What soap dish consists of, in what state, and how long it keeps.
The ingredient, the prepared dish and the packaged product are different things with different facts attached.
Composition and nutrition
Ingredients and nutrient content per stated quantity.
Composition per stated quantity
What is in it, measured against what amount.
- What is the composition of soap dish, per what stated quantity, and from which data source? measurement
- How does preparation change that composition? boundary
Allergens, storage and shelf life
What must be declared and how it is kept.
Allergens and keeping
Declarable allergens, storage conditions and shelf life.
- Which allergens must be declared for soap dish, and under which regime? definition
- What storage does it require, and what must an agent refuse to serve or sell? action
Provenance, evidence and time Where every claim about a soap dish 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 soap dish and how confident it is.
- What identifies and describes a claim about a soap dish, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
