Source use and currentness
The source contributions guide particular actions and qualifications. Each body states what a source contributes and what remains outside its authority.
| Source family | Contribution used here | Qualification and reopen |
|---|---|---|
| Current FPF | source-local meaning, episteme identity, direct Bridge truth, bounded representation use, claim/provenance reliance, representation transition, currentness and affected-use distinctions | FPF retains the generic concepts and assurance law. A changed relied-on result reopens only its SIE consumer. |
| Current Method Engineering | situational criteria and the separate repertoire, variant, introduction, and revision Methods in ME.2, ME.15–ME.17 | SIE supplies domain content; it does not duplicate Method identity or lifecycle decisions. |
| Current Systems Engineering | engineering-description, configuration/effectivity, change, release, integration, and assurance results | SIE can supply a qualified semantic premise; SYSE retains engineering decisions. |
| ISO 704:2022 and ISO/IEC 11179-3:2023 | distinguish objects, concepts, definitions, designations, registry items, versions, and mapping metadata | do not establish cross-source identity, truth, or receiving-use fitness |
| LOT, maintained LOT resources, and LOT4KG | competency/use questions, domain-participant validation, qualified reuse or development, and dependencies between an ontology and a selected graph realization | reuse can finish the model question; LOT4KG’s maintained activities do not establish a final peer-reviewed edition or a measured advantage |
| OWL 2 and the public ISO/IEC 21838-1:2021 description | explicit language semantics and profile choices when formalization is useful; a deliberately selected top-level basis when coherence needs it | formal validity does not supply domain adequacy; no universal ontology or full-standard conformance is required or claimed |
| OBO Foundry principles, including term stability, contact responsibility, and notification | actual module users, stable identification, scoped shared content, reachable responsibility, and notice of changes affecting reliance | adapt to the particular commons; contact does not itself assign content or release rights, and an OBO-specific notice interval is not universal |
| SKOS, SSSOM 1.0, and OAEI 2025 | correspondence kinds, reusable mapping metadata, and task-dependent alignment evidence | a label, similarity score, or matcher output remains a candidate premise |
| ISO 8000-115:2024, PROV-O, SEMI traceability, and GS1 EPCIS 2.0.1 | identifier-owner/use-restriction inputs, provenance relations, and domain identity/traceability probes | they create no cross-source equivalence, master identity, authoritative value, or receiving action |
| R2RML, OMG QVT 1.3, and Ontop | bounded executable mapping and virtual/materialized realization forms | no mandatory RDF, MOF, graph store, or source authority |
| SHACL, DQV, Data on the Web Best Practices, ISO/IEC 25012:2008, and ISO 8000-61:2016 | distinct validation, quality, provenance/version, and quality-management questions | no one layer or score proves receiving-use adequacy |
| ISO 10303-242:2025 and ISO 23952:2020 | versioned product-definition/configuration and manufacturing-quality source cases | AP242 edition 4 is at stage 90.92, “to be revised”; a changed relied-on successor reopens the affected source, mapping, interface, and case only |
The foundation source cut was qualified on 4 September 2026. The model, evolution, and commons contributions were qualified on 8 September using LOT, the maintained LOT4KG description, OWL 2, and the selected OBO principles. LOT4KG’s site cites an under-review manuscript and contains mixed date metadata; its inspected activities supply method guidance rather than proof of a final peer-reviewed edition or measured advantage. The earlier 2024 joint-methodology proposal is historical background; its future-work account does not describe the maintained method’s current evolution activities. The public ISO/IEC 21838-1:2021 description and stage 90.20 systematic review since 15 July 2026 delimit its use here; no full-standard conformance is claimed. Reopen only choices affected by changed relied-on content or use conditions.
