Bundle → Layer → Finding → Questions Derived, awaiting review

6 bundles · 12 layers · 14 findings · 38 questions

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

Classification and granularity

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

Distinguishing features

What separates a Engineering, procurement and construction from the things most often confused with it.

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

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

Observations and current status

What is observed about a Engineering, procurement and construction, how often and by whom.

Observation record

How an observation of a Engineering, procurement and construction is recorded so that it can be superseded rather than overwritten.

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

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

  1. What identifies and describes access to a Engineering, procurement and construction, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about access to a Engineering, procurement and construction, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once access to a Engineering, procurement and construction is known, and what must it refuse? action
Work, version and copy Which level of Engineering, procurement and construction a statement is about.

The work, the edition, the file and the copy in hand are four things; rights and content attach to different ones.

Levels of the thing

Work, expression, manifestation and item, in plain terms.

What belongs at each level

Which facts hold for the work and which only for one copy.

  1. For Engineering, procurement and construction, which facts belong to the work itself, which to a version, and which to a single copy? boundary
  2. What identifier exists at each level, and which one is being cited? definition

Versions, editions and variants

How versions differ and which is canonical to whom.

Versions and canonicity

Differences that matter and who calls one authoritative.

  1. Which versions or editions of Engineering, procurement and construction exist, and how do they differ substantively? definition
  2. Who treats which version as authoritative, and for what purpose? provenance
Authorship, rights and permitted use Who made Engineering, procurement and construction and what may be done with it.

Rights are jurisdictional, time-limited and attached to a level, and an agent that ignores that will copy what it may not.

Authorship and contribution

Who contributed what, and in what capacity.

Contributors and roles

The people and bodies behind it, with their roles.

  1. Who authored or contributed to Engineering, procurement and construction, in what roles, and how is that attested? provenance
  2. Where authorship is disputed or anonymous, what is recorded instead? boundary

Rights and permissions

Which rights subsist, where, until when, and what they permit.

Rights, term and permitted acts

The regime in force and what it allows.

  1. What rights subsist in Engineering, procurement and construction, in which jurisdictions, and until when? definition
  2. Which acts are permitted without further permission, and which must an agent refuse? action
Provenance, evidence and time Where every claim about a Engineering, procurement and construction 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 Engineering, procurement and construction and how confident it is.

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

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

Why it exists Derived, awaiting review

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

Distinguishing features Derived, awaiting review

  • Described in 15 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

  • read it and act on what it says
  • observe it, measure it, record its state

Direct properties not applicable Not applicable

  • 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.

Recognition optional Derived, awaiting review

  • What is seen is a copy or a performance, not the work. Recognising the work means recognising the content through whatever is carrying it.

Capabilities and actions required Derived, awaiting review

  • read and interpreted
  • 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 15 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.
