SIE.11:5.1 - Compatible Reference Repair

A publisher moves a vocabulary definition to a new documentation address. The integrator can access both the relied-on content and its new location. The definition, applicability, and access needed by the mapping remain compatible.

The integrator updates the reference used by that mapping. Its existing qualification still answers the unchanged question. This is the completed result for the reference-maintenance use; no multi-use account is needed.

If the later definition cannot be inspected, the same evidence cannot support this conclusion. The result then names the inaccessible comparison and the reliance it leaves unresolved.
