3 citations across 3 artifacts.

Each citation links to the sentence it supports in the citing article.

Primes

• Supersession
  • The clarifying force is a set of diagnostic questions invisible without the prime: is this artifact superseded? if so, by what? and what is the migration path? These questions explain why mature artifact systems — standards bodies, software registries, taxonomic databases, legal reporters — all converge on supersession-tracking metadata.

    This sourceThe `replaces` / `isReplacedBy` relation properties ('a related resource that supplants, displaces, or supersedes the described resource') are standardized supersession-tracking metadata, with `isReplacedBy` used where only one version in a chain is valid — independent reinvention of replaces/is-replaced-by relations.

Domain-specific

• Spatial coverage
  • The structural commitment is to publish an explicit inclusion-exclusion rule on the spatial dimension, encoded canonically as the Dublin Core property dct:spatial (reused by DCAT) or Schema.org's spatialCoverage

Mechanisms

• Metadata Schema
  • Now the corpus is uniformly describable: "show all active contracts owned by Legal whose retention expires this year" is a single structured query instead of a manual hunt.

    This sourceProvides a standardized vocabulary of metadata properties and classes for consistent resource description across implementations.

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 3 citations: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
