Question

How are the owner, organizations, brands, websites, and publications related?

Nodes

Person; Organization; Brand; Domain; Publication

Relationship sketch

verified ownership assertion → evidence
website → operating organization
publication → publisher

Evidence inputs

Explicit ownership/operating statements, domain control evidence where authorized, and approved publisher assignments.

Implementation

Keep private ownership assertions as qualified claims; map only supported relationships into public vocabulary. Domain control, employment, founding, and publishing are different predicates.

Acceptance checks

No sameAs links connect merely affiliated businesses
Every ownership or founder assertion has evidence
The person and all website IDs remain distinct

Do not infer

Common ownership is not identity equivalence, editorial independence, or proof of founding.

Publication boundary

Relationship summary may be public; contracts and control records normally remain private.
