garbage disposal unit
Give an agent a durable, checkable way to recognise a garbage disposal unit, 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 garbage disposal unit from another, and a garbage disposal unit 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 garbage disposal unit, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the name of a garbage disposal unit, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the name of a garbage disposal unit 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 garbage disposal unit, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about an identifier for a garbage disposal unit, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once an identifier for a garbage disposal unit is known, and what must it refuse? action
Classification and granularity
Where a garbage disposal unit 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 garbage disposal unit, and in what units or vocabulary? definition

Form, composition and condition What a garbage disposal unit 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 garbage disposal unit, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the dimensions of a garbage disposal unit, by which method, and when was it true? provenance

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

What counts as a movement, what records it and what limits it.
- What identifies and describes the movement of a garbage disposal unit, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the movement of a garbage disposal unit, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the movement of a garbage disposal unit is known, and what must it refuse? action
State and lifecycle The states a garbage disposal unit 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 garbage disposal unit between them.
- What identifies and describes the lifecycle of a garbage disposal unit, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the lifecycle of a garbage disposal unit, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the lifecycle of a garbage disposal unit is known, and what must it refuse? action
Observations and current status
What is observed about a garbage disposal unit, how often and by whom.
Observation record
How an observation of a garbage disposal unit is recorded so that it can be superseded rather than overwritten.
- What identifies and describes an observation of a garbage disposal unit, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about an observation of a garbage disposal unit, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once an observation of a garbage disposal unit is known, and what must it refuse? action
Use and operation What can be done with a garbage disposal unit 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 garbage disposal unit is for, and what it is used for anyway.
Function, purpose and misuse
The function a garbage disposal unit performs and the uses that fall outside it.

- What identifies and describes handling a garbage disposal unit, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about handling a garbage disposal unit, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once handling a garbage disposal unit is known, and what must it refuse? action
Definition, dimension and realisation What garbage disposal unit is defined as and how it is realised in practice.
A unit is not the quantity it measures, and its definition has a history that older data still depends on.
Definition and dimension
The defining relation and the quantity it measures.
Definition, body and date
What defines it now, and what defined it before.
- How is garbage disposal unit defined, by which body, and since when? definition
- What was the previous definition, and what data still depends on it? provenance
Conversion and compatibility
Relations to other units, exact or approximate.
Conversions and their exactness
Factors, and whether each is exact by definition.
- What conversions relate garbage disposal unit to other units, and which are exact by definition? measurement
- Where does rounding a conversion change a decision, and how should that be recorded? action
Provenance, evidence and time Where every claim about a garbage disposal unit 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

Claim provenance and confidence
The authority behind each claim about a garbage disposal unit and how confident it is.
- What identifies and describes a claim about a garbage disposal unit, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about a claim about a garbage disposal unit, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
