What it is Derived, awaiting review
This meta-model describes the enforcement path from a recorded offense to a completed correction: classification and incident records, investigations with their evidence custody, charges and their referral into adjudication (A19), and the penalties and correction measures that follow a decision.
Note: First sentence of the legacy card introduction.
Why it exists Filled
Offenses, investigations, cases, penalties, corrections
Distinguishing features Derived, awaiting review
- It is its own model because enforcement records carry the strictest due-process constraints in the catalogue: their subjects hold adversarial rights over them, evidence must keep an unbroken chain of custody, and adjudication itself deliberately lives in a separate model.

Standards and interfaces required Derived, awaiting review

- interAuthorityConvictionExchange: structured exchange of final conviction records with counterpart authorities, in the manner of criminal-records exchange systems
- anonymizedStatisticsExtract: aggregate extracts by classification, period and area for the statistics office
- convictionRecord: final penalties per person with their legal state; omits investigation material and dismissed charges
- crimeStatistics: aggregates by classification code, period and area; omits all identities
- caseworkQueue: open investigations and pending referrals for the enforcement body; omits closed and adjudicated matter
Context of use required Filled
- Subjects hold guaranteed due-process access defined in A6 and delivered as S2 grants; all other access, including conviction exchange and statistics, is granted by the owner via S1 and S2 with S4 audit.
