Why it exists Filled
Represent one governed questionnaire or survey instrument so agents can understand exactly what may be asked, in which form, order, language, mode and context, without confusing an instrument definition with a study, administration or person's response.
Distinguishing features Filled
- Defines what may be asked and how, not the responses or the people who answered.

neighbor
- WM-REC-007 parent signal - The unfrozen parent signal may identify a record or collection context, but no approved relation row exists and it grants no ownership, mutation or cascade authority.
- Study, program, campaign, wave and administration - These objects define research intent and actual collection activity. The instrument owns reusable questions and logic and stores only non-owning use bindings.
- Respondent, consent, sample, response, observation, dataset and analysis result - These masters carry people, authority, selection, actual answers, observed facts and outputs. The instrument defines permitted capture structures only.
- Question, response domain, variable and controlled concept - Question content, permitted value domain, statistical variable and controlled concept remain separately identifiable and versioned even when bundled into one instrument.
- DDI, GSIM, GSBPM, ISO 20252, FHIR, Census, Statistics Canada, GOV.UK, WCAG, DPV, PROV, SKOS and IETF profiles - Each source has a distinct scope and normative force. Every mapping is version-pinned, profile-qualified and loss-declaring.
