Bundle → Layer → Finding → Questions Derived, awaiting review

7 bundles · 14 layers · 16 findings · 44 questions

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

Classification and granularity

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

Distinguishing features

What separates a private secretary from the things most often confused with it.

  1. What identifies and describes what distinguishes a private secretary, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about what distinguishes a private secretary, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once what distinguishes a private secretary is known, and what must it refuse? action
Place and movement Where a private secretary is, how it got there and where it may go (self-moving).

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 private secretary is, and what that position is measured against.

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

Movement and transfer

How a private secretary moves on its own.

What counts as a movement, what records it and what limits it.

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

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

Observations and current status

What is observed about a private secretary, how often and by whom.

Observation record

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

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

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 private secretary and who fills them.

Role assignments and their validity

Who holds which role over a private secretary, from when, and on whose authority.

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

Ownership and accountability

Accountability and decision rights

Where responsibility for a private secretary sits when something goes wrong.

  1. What identifies and describes responsibility for a private secretary, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about responsibility for a private secretary, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once responsibility for a private secretary is known, and what must it refuse? action
Competence, qualification and licence What someone must be able to do, and be permitted to do, as private secretary.

The permission is jurisdictional and the competence is not, and conflating them is how an agent concludes someone may practise when they may not.

Competences and qualifications

Skills and credentials the role assumes.

Qualifications and how they are evidenced

What counts as qualified, and what proves it.

  1. What competences and qualifications does private secretary require, and how is each evidenced? definition
  2. Which qualifications transfer between jurisdictions and which do not? boundary

The permission, its issuer, its territory and its expiry.

  1. Who licenses private secretary, in which territory, and for how long? provenance
  2. What may an unlicensed person not do, and what must an agent refuse to assume? action
Tasks, employment and accountability What private secretary actually does and who answers for it.

A role is filled by people under an arrangement, and the arrangement decides liability, supervision and who may instruct whom.

Tasks and typical duties

The work itself, and how it differs by setting.

Duties and setting

What the role does and where the work varies.

  1. What tasks define private secretary, and how do they differ between settings or seniority? definition
  2. Which tasks may only be done by this role, and which are shared with neighbouring roles? boundary

Employment and accountability

The relation under which the work is done and where responsibility sits.

Responsibility and supervision

Who instructs, who supervises, who is liable.

  1. Under what arrangement does someone act as private secretary, and who supervises or is liable? definition
  2. When something goes wrong, what does the model need to have recorded to answer who was responsible? provenance
Provenance, evidence and time Where every claim about a private secretary 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 private secretary and how confident it is.

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

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