Why it exists Filled

Distinguishing features Filled

Identifies a published edition, distinct from the abstract work and from any single copy or file.
An ISBN, ISSN or DOI identifies a specific target and must not be reused for other editions or formats.
A publication date or catalogue record is not proof of lawful publication or authorship.
Corrections and retractions are recorded as new states, not by changing the published text.

What robots and AI may and may not do Filled

Must not

Assign identifiers on behalf of a registration agency.
Publish or release an edition.
Retract or withdraw an edition.
Grant rights.
Change attribution of authorship.

Only with a human decision

Identifier assignment and registration.
Retraction and withdrawal decisions.

May

Extract bibliographic metadata.
Validate identifiers and check digits.
Compose series, volumes and issues.
Map records between bibliographic formats.

Moral aspects Filled

Correct attribution matters to authors' rights and careers.
Retractions must stay visible so readers are not misled.
Accessible editions serve readers with disabilities.

Who is affected

Authors and contributors
Readers and researchers
Publishers
Libraries and archives

Owners Filled

WM-MED-001 Creative Work / Content - The registered parent owns abstract intellectual content and authorship. This model owns a publisher-authorized edition or release identity and never turns the work and its issued form into one identity.
WM-MED-002 Media Asset / Rendition - A media asset owns byte-bearing renditions, formats, fixity and technical preservation. This edition selects or binds manifestations and assets but retains bibliographic and release identity.
WM-ACT-044 Content Publication - The activity model owns editorial approval, release execution, distribution, correction and takedown workflow. This model records accountable outcomes and public lifecycle without absorbing the case process.
Manifestation, item, copy, file and access URL - These are embodiments, holdings, byte objects or locators. They may change or multiply while the governed edition identity and its relationship assertions remain stable.
Series, volume, issue, article, chapter and collection - Each independently identifiable publication retains its own record. Container membership, order, enumeration and chronology are typed relationships, not permission to erase nested identities.
Identifier, publisher, imprint, distributor, platform and rights instrument - Identifiers and organizations carry authority-scoped roles; resolution, distribution or possession does not establish edition identity, ownership, copyright or permission.

ISBN product-form, ISSN medium-edition, DOI registered-referent target granularity mappings require specialist identifier-agency review to validate authority-scoped semantics and non-equivalence claims across SRC-012, SRC-013, SRC-014.
EPUB Accessibility 1.1 conformance, W3C WCAG validation, accessibility feature/hazard metadata, and remediation certification claims require accessibility-domain specialist review beyond static SRC-017, SRC-018 source mapping.
Legal deposit, mandatory publication, retraction duties, embargo enforcement, takedown compliance, and jurisdictional profiles (copyright, moral rights, privacy, consumer protection) require legal specialist review and sector-specific profiling (library, book trade, scholarly, news, legal, standards, audiovisual).
