5 bundles · 10 layers · 12 findings · 34 questions

Identity, naming and classification How an agent tells one Police tactical unit from another, and a Police tactical 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.

  1. What identifies and describes the name of a Police tactical unit, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the name of a Police tactical unit, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once the name of a Police tactical 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.

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

Where a Police tactical 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.

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

Distinguishing features

What separates a Police tactical unit from the things most often confused with it.

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

Lifecycle stages

From coming into existence to ceasing to be one of these.

Stages and transitions

The stages worth naming and what moves a Police tactical unit between them.

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

Observations and current status

What is observed about a Police tactical unit, how often and by whom.

Observation record

How an observation of a Police tactical unit is recorded so that it can be superseded rather than overwritten.

  1. What identifies and describes an observation of a Police tactical unit, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about an observation of a Police tactical unit, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once an observation of a Police tactical unit is known, and what must it refuse? action
People, roles and responsibility Who stands in what relation to a Police tactical unit.

Social things are defined by the relations people hold to them, and those relations change without the thing changing.

Roles and parties

The roles that exist around a Police tactical unit and who fills them.

Role assignments and their validity

Who holds which role over a Police tactical unit, from when, and on whose authority.

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

Ownership and accountability

Who answers for a Police tactical unit and who may decide about it.

Accountability and decision rights

Where responsibility for a Police tactical unit sits when something goes wrong.

  1. What identifies and describes responsibility for a Police tactical unit, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about responsibility for a Police tactical unit, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once responsibility for a Police tactical unit is known, and what must it refuse? action
Definition, dimension and realisation What Police tactical 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.

  1. How is Police tactical unit defined, by which body, and since when? definition
  2. 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.

  1. What conversions relate Police tactical unit to other units, and which are exact by definition? measurement
  2. Where does rounding a conversion change a decision, and how should that be recorded? action
Provenance, evidence and time Where every claim about a Police tactical 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

Who said it, on what evidence, and how strongly.

Claim provenance and confidence

The authority behind each claim about a Police tactical unit and how confident it is.

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

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

What it is Derived, awaiting review

A social thing registered under SOC.ORG. The registry names it; this draft has not been given a definition yet.

Why it exists Derived, awaiting review

Give an agent a durable, checkable way to recognise a Police tactical unit, record what state it is in, and decide what may be done with it.

Distinguishing features Derived, awaiting review

  • Names folded into this entry, which a task may need to split apart again: special operations group for demanding situations, SEK, Independent Counter-Terrorism Police Subunit.
  • 3 finer distinctions are held as aliases rather than separate entries, because telling them apart needs a task that asks for it.
  • Described in 18 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

  • observe it, measure it, record its state
