A.14:9.5 - Grounding and validation (normative)
| ID | Requirement | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| CC-GND-1 | A direct ut:StructPartOf assertion is usable without this assurance profile. When its publication elects B.3.5 or a named current requirement demands that profile, the assertion must use validationMode=axiomatic and link through tv:groundedBy to its applicable current C.2.1 sum or slice construction trace. The trace reports independently grounded participants, direct relation occurrences, the construction rule, and identity or reidentification conditions; it creates none of them. | Makes an elected assurance basis inspectable without making it the relation’s truth-maker. |
| CC-GND-2 | For epistemic edges (ut:EpiPartOf and its sub-types), tv:groundedBy is optional; instead supply ev:evidence and set validationMode in {axiomatic, postulate, inferential}. | Harmonises evidence treatment for epistemic edges. |
| CC-GND-3 | The public query Standard remains ?x ut:PartOf+ ?y; every result still depends on its direct relation semantics and identity. Alias, trace, or validation mode creates or reidentifies no occurrence. | Preserves one query surface without moving authority into assurance apparatus. |
Note. Property names and trace semantics are defined in CT2R-LOG and Compose-CAL.
