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 Islamic Republic, record what state it is in, and decide what may be done with it.

A physical thing registered under PHY.PLC. The registry names it; this draft has not been given a definition yet.

It can be observed and measured; entered, crossed or travelled along.

Distinguishing features

Described in 73 Wikipedia languages, which is a measure of how widely the thing is known, not of how important it is.

Physical character

Made of: a portion of the world with an extent.

On the scale of a landscape, measured in kilometres.

Stays where it was put; moving it is a project.

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 extent on the ground and by position, not by appearance. Two places that look alike are told apart by where they are.

Described in 73 Wikipedia languages, which measures how widely it is written about rather than how important or how common it is.

Bundle to layer to finding to question, as the second pass will find it: 8 bundles · 17 layers · 19 findings · 53 questions.

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

Where a Islamic Republic 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 Islamic Republic, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the kind of a Islamic Republic, by which method, and when was it true? provenance

  3. What may an agent decide or do once what distinguishes a Islamic Republic is known, and what must it refuse? action
Form, composition and condition What a Islamic Republic 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 at geographic scale.

The quantities worth recording and the units they are recorded in.

  1. What identifies and describes the dimensions of a Islamic Republic, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the dimensions of a Islamic Republic, by which method, and when was it true? provenance

  2. Who or what asserted this about the condition of a Islamic Republic, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once the condition of a Islamic Republic is known, and what must it refuse? action
Place and movement Where a Islamic Republic is, how it got there and where it may go (fixed).

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 Islamic Republic is, and what that position is measured against.

  1. What identifies and describes the location of a Islamic Republic, and in what units or vocabulary? definition

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

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

Observations and current status

What is observed about a Islamic Republic, how often and by whom.

Observation record

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

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

  2. Who or what asserted this about handling a Islamic Republic, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once handling a Islamic Republic is known, and what must it refuse? action
Extent, geometry and naming Where Islamic Republic is, how far it reaches, and what it is called.

A boundary is claimed by an authority rather than observed in the world, so the claimant belongs in the record with the geometry.

Geometry and reference system

Coordinates, extent and the frame they are given in.

Geometry, precision and frame

What is recorded about position and shape, and to what accuracy.

  1. What geometry describes Islamic Republic, in which coordinate reference system, at what precision? measurement
  2. Which authority publishes that geometry, and who publishes a different one? provenance

Names and endonyms

What it is called in different languages and by different parties.

Names and who uses them

Official names, local names and contested names.

  1. By what names is Islamic Republic known, in which languages, and which are official to whom? definition

Administrative containment decides which rules apply, and it changes without the place moving.

Administrative containment

The units it belongs to and the date each holds from.

Containing units and effective dates

Where it sits administratively and since when.

  1. Which administrative units contain Islamic Republic, and since when does each containment hold? definition

  1. Who may enter or use Islamic Republic, under what conditions, and by whose rule? action
  2. What seasonal or conditional closure applies, and how is it announced? definition
Provenance, evidence and time Where every claim about a Islamic Republic 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.

The authority behind each claim about a Islamic Republic and how confident it is.

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