Question
Which concepts exist, and how do their meanings and scopes relate?
Nodes
Concept; Preferred label; Alternative label; Concept scheme
Relationship sketch
- concept → broader/narrower concept
- concept → related concept
- label → concept
Evidence inputs
Domain definitions, terminology decisions, source-backed distinctions, and reader questions.
Implementation
Use controlled concepts to connect documents without making each term a public page. Record synonyms separately from broader concepts; avoid over-specific taxonomies that users cannot navigate.
Acceptance checks
- Broader-than relationships are not mistaken for same-identity links
- Ambiguous abbreviations have definitions
- Concept revisions preserve stable identifiers
Do not infer
A dense taxonomy does not certify topical authority or completeness of expertise.
Publication boundary
A helpful subset may be published; internal editorial notes stay private.
Source basis
S15, S44. See Research/sources.json. Sources support the primitives or named technology. The organization, labels, actions, and acceptance contracts in this catalog are this library's design, not claimed provider requirements.
