What it is Filled
Owns authorization-case identity, requested class and scope, submissions, evidence-use assertions, completeness, criterion assessments, consultations, decisions, reasons, notifications, appeal routes and follow-on administration cases. Applicants, authorities, legal instruments, public-service definitions, reusable criteria, evidence artifacts, payments, inspections, enforcement, appeals and granted rights remain external masters.
In scope
- Case identity, class, actors in procedural roles, service, legal basis and requested authorization scope
- Application revisions, evidence-use, completeness, assessment, consultation, decision, reasons and notification
- Follow-on renewal, variation, suspension or termination cases, access views, retention, interoperability and safe operations
Out of scope
- Permission-bearing permit, licence, authorization, credential or right master and its independently verified current status
- Applicant, authority, legal instrument, public service, criterion, evidence artifact, payment, inspection, enforcement and appeal-case masters
- Universal licensing law, legal advice or automated final decision without competent authority
Why it exists Filled
Represent the governed application, assessment and decision case for regulated authorization while keeping the permission-bearing grant in its authoritative external master.
Distinguishing features Filled
- Models the application and decision case, not the granted right or permit that results from it.
- Keeps criterion assessments, consultations and reasons inside the case while evidence stays in its own master.
- Distinguishes a reasoned decision by a competent authority from process completion, payment or a status page.
- Ends with an appeal route and follow-on cases rather than with ongoing inspection or enforcement.
What robots and AI may and may not do Filled
Must not
- Issue, refuse or revoke a decision without competent authority.
- Treat paid fees, submitted evidence or a decision copy as proof of a current grant.
- Copy evidence into the case beyond what the stated purpose needs.
- Withhold the reasons or appeal route from an applicant who received a decision.
- Apply criteria from a different jurisdiction or version than the case was opened under.
Only with a human decision
- Issuing any decision that grants, refuses or conditions an authorization.
- Adverse findings against an applicant or a third party consulted.
- Disclosure of case files to parties outside the case.
May
- Check an application revision for completeness against the published criteria.
- Request missing information on behalf of the case handler.
- Propose a criterion assessment with cited evidence for an official to review.
- Notify applicants of status changes already decided by the authority.
Moral aspects Filled
- Applicants have a right to reasons, equal treatment and an appeal, which automated steps must preserve.
- Permits often affect neighbours, workers and the environment, who need a fair hearing in consultation.
- Evidence files hold personal and commercial data that must stay purpose-bound.
Who is affected
- Applicants
- Third parties and communities consulted or affected
- Public authority officials
Owners Filled
Steward
Dimension identity, owner, authorization-case authority, rights-register authority and namespace
Roles
- Authorization authority
- Own case identity, competence, procedure and authority-qualified decisions.
- Applicant or representative
- Submit declarations and evidence and receive notices and reasons under applicable access rights.
- Caseworker
- Validate completeness, manage communications and preserve procedural history.
- Assessor or consultee
- Produce criterion findings or opinions with method, evidence and conflict disclosure.
- Accountable decider
- Issue signed reasoned decisions within delegated competence.
- Rights-register steward
- Own the permission-bearing grant and its authoritative current status outside this case model.
- Access and records steward
- Apply casefile disclosure, retention, legal hold and audit policy.
Links to other meta-models Filled
references
- Granted Right, Attestation or Credential model - Resolve the permission-bearing grant created, changed or terminated after an authority decision.
- Person, Organization, Public Authority, Public Service and Legal Instrument models - Resolve applicants, representatives, competent actors, reusable procedure definitions and governing law.
- Criterion, Evidence, Payment, Inspection, Enforcement and Appeal Case models - Connect case-specific use and findings to external requirement, artifact, financial, oversight and review masters.
aligned
- CPSV-AP and CCCEV - Project public-service, requirement, evidence, output and participation bindings.
- LegalRuleML and UN/CEFACT FLAP - Project legal-source and permission semantics plus sector authorization messages with declared loss.
neighbor
- Granted Right or Attestation - A favorable decision points to a separately mastered permission-bearing grant; case completion and grant validity are never interchangeable.
- Public Service - The reusable service definition supplies channels, requirements, outputs and legal resources; this model owns one execution case.
- Criterion and Evidence - Reusable requirements and evidence artifacts keep external masters; the case owns submissions, supported claims, verification and assessment findings.
- Inspection and Enforcement - Inspections and enforcement actions may trigger or inform a case but retain their own authority, evidence and lifecycle.
- Legal Instrument / Norm - Legal sources establish competence, requirements and effects; the authorization case applies them but does not own or reinterpret the law.
What else AI and robots need to interact with it Filled
Identity and identifiers required Filled
- Competent authority's master case identifier, qualified by register and jurisdiction.
- Governed globally resolvable authorization-case IRI with authority binding.
- Dimension UUID or ULID when no external identifier exists.
Direct properties not applicable Not applicable
Not applicable
Institutional or informational subject: no invented physical properties.
Recognition optional Filled
- A permit case has a case number, an applicant, a requested authorization class and scope, and a competent authority.
- It is confused with the granted permit itself, a licence credential or an inspection record.
Capabilities and actions required Filled
- Open authorization case: Create case identity, class, authority, service, legal basis, applicant roles and requested scope.
- Submit application revision: Append signed declarations, requested scope, receipt and completeness context.
- Attach and verify evidence: Link external evidence or registry data to requirements and record a verification assertion.
- Assess criterion: Record method, evidence used, result, reasons, uncertainty and accountable reviewer for one criterion.
- Request information or consultation: Issue a cure, referral, consultation or inspection request and track the response deadline.
- Issue reasoned decision: Record grant, refusal, partial, defer, withdrawal, lapse or closure with authority, reasons and effect time.
- Notify and bind grant reference: Record decision delivery, publication, appeal route and any separately mastered authorization identifier.
- Open follow-on administration case: Create renewal, variation, transfer, suspension, revocation, annulment, surrender or reinstatement case.
- Issue purpose-bound case view: Create applicant, regulator, public, statistical or sector exchange projection with declared omissions.
- Close and retain case: Close, lapse, withdraw, archive or tombstone the case while preserving decisions, appeals and grant references.
Hazards and failure modes required Filled
- Unlawful decisions when competence or criteria are wrong.
- Delay or loss of a lawful activity through lost submissions or missed deadlines.
- Harm to neighbours or the environment when consultation is skipped.
Standards and interfaces required Filled
- Single Digital Gateway Regulation procedures and evidence exchange (EU 2018/1724).
- W3C Verifiable Credentials for issuing the resulting grant evidence.
- BPMN 2.0 for modelling the case process.
Context of use required Filled
- CPSV-AP, CCCEV and the Single Digital Gateway provide European interoperability patterns rather than universal administrative law.
- UN/CEFACT FLAP is a fishing-sector profile and cannot define every permit process.
- LegalRuleML represents legal and deontic semantics but does not create authority or a binding decision.

- Validate certified service, criterion, evidence, legal-rule and sector-message projections with privacy, authority, legal-time, information-loss and round-trip tests.
- No independent Claude or Grok result was available; later administrative-law and sector review is required before canonical promotion.
- Jurisdiction-specific licensing, due-process, appeal, automatic-decision, fee, inspection, sanction and grant-identity profiles require specialist review.
- The frozen relation ledger contains no approved WM-POL-004 rows; all composition targets remain draft.
- Certified CPSV-AP, CCCEV, LegalRuleML and sector-message crosswalks and conformance fixtures remain future work.
