++== 1. Overall analysis & review of the data model ==
++
++=== 1.1 Strengths of the current design ===
++
++* (((
++**Identity vs. version pattern**
++Using base entities plus version entities (CLAIM + CLAIM_VERSION, SCENARIO + SCENARIO_VERSION, etc.) is exactly how modern knowledge systems handle:
++
++* auditability
++* time evolution
++* re-evaluation triggers
++* federation and partial replication
++)))
++* (((
++**Scenario-centric reasoning**
++Separating //Claim// (what people argue about) from //Scenario// (interpretive frame) is very aligned with “truth landscape” style systems:
++
++* Scenarios explain //why people disagree//.
++* Verdicts are tied to specific scenario versions → avoids mixing incompatible assumptions.
++)))
++* **Evidence and verdicts as first-class entities**
++Evidence is explicit, linked to scenarios, and verdicts are per scenario. This matches good practice from fact-checking, scientific assessment panels, and trust graphs.
++* (((
++**Cluster level (CLAIM_CLUSTER)**
++Grouping related claims avoids duplication and lets you:
++
++* reuse scenarios across paraphrases
++* share embeddings / semantic search
++* keep the system scalable as the corpus grows.
++)))
++* (((
++**Explicit review layer (REVIEW_ACTION, roles, etc.)**
++Separating “data” from “who reviewed what” keeps the model clean, and is exactly what you want for:
++
++* governance
++* permissions
++* audit trails
++* future trust scoring per user / role.
++)))
++
++----
++
++=== 1.2 Design decisions I’m locking in (based on our discussions) ===
++
++To make the model consistent and “state-of-the-art”, I will assume the following as //current intended design//:
++
++1. (((
++**Claims vs Scenarios**
++
++* CLAIM is the stable identity for “what people argue about”.
++* CLAIM_VERSION are individual phrasings / formulations / metadata.
++* (((
++SCENARIO belongs to a **CLAIM**, not to a specific CLAIM_VERSION.
++Rationale:
++
++* Many different phrasings share the //same// scenario.
++* You avoid duplicating scenarios per wording.
++)))
++* SCENARIO_VERSION holds detailed definitions, assumptions, boundaries, etc.
++)))
++1. (((
++**Version-specific reasoning**
++
++* **Verdicts** are always attached to SCENARIO_VERSION (not base SCENARIO).
++* **Evidence links** are between SCENARIO_VERSION and EVIDENCE_VERSION.
++→ This is what we agreed when we said //“SCENARIO_EVIDENCE_LINK should link the respective versions instead”//.
++)))
++1. (((
++**Clusters**
++
++* CLAIM_CLUSTER groups Claims (semantically close claims).
++* It is visible in **both diagrams** (Core Data Model and Data Use).
++)))
++1. (((
++**Review vs data**
++
++* (((
++All review happens **on versioned entities**:
++
++* CLAIM_VERSION
++* SCENARIO_VERSION
++* EVIDENCE_VERSION
++* SCENARIO_EVIDENCE_LINK_VERSION
++* VERDICT_VERSION
++)))
++* REVIEW_ACTION is the generic log of //who// did //what// on //which version//.
++)))
++1. (((
++**Users & roles**
++
++* USER has an attribute (or a linked entity) that distinguishes **technical users** from normal accounts.
++* We //keep// TECHNICAL_USER as a specialisation of USER (strictly technical accounts).
++* All human & technical accounts can hold roles via USER_ROLE_MEMBERSHIP.
++* (((
++Roles include:
++
++* READER
++* CONTRIBUTOR
++* TRUSTED_CONTRIBUTOR
++* REVIEWER
++* MODERATOR
++* SYSTEM_ADMIN / MAINTAINER
++* FEDERATION_OPERATOR
++* FEDERATION_ADMIN
++(all present in the Data Use ERD, but as rows of ROLE rather than separate entities).
++)))
++)))
++
++----
++
++=== 1.3 Gaps / potential problems ===
++
++These are the main issues & missing areas I see:
++
++1. (((
++**Versioning text in chapter 5 is currently too thin (‘…’ placeholders)**
++
++* (((
++The spec does not yet //verbally// spell out:
++
++* the identity vs version pattern, systematically
++* how re-evaluation triggers are derived from version changes
++* how this aligns with federation (which versions are replicated where).
++)))
++)))
++1. (((
++**No explicit “provenance granularity” in the model**
++
++* (((
++EVIDENCE is a single entity. For more advanced use cases, you may later want:
++
++* EVIDENCE_SOURCE (the whole article/report/video)
++* EVIDENCE_FRAGMENT (specific paragraph/clip with its own reliability, quote, etc.)
++)))
++* For now, I’ll keep EVIDENCE/EVIDENCE_VERSION as is, but I’ll mention this as a possible extension.
++)))
++1. (((
++**Review target polymorphism**
++
++* (((
++REVIEW_ACTION can apply to multiple entity types. In the diagram this shows as multiple relationships:
++
++* CLAIM_VERSION → REVIEW_ACTION
++* SCENARIO_VERSION → REVIEW_ACTION
++* etc.
++)))
++* A more “pure” relational modeling would use a generic “subjectType + subjectId” or an intermediate “REVIEW_TARGET” table.
++* For readability, I’ll keep the simpler multi-edge representation and mention the polymorphism in text.
++)))
++1. (((
++**Federation details missing from core ERD**
++
++* There is no explicit FEDERATION_NODE / REPLICATION_LOG in the Data Model chapter.
++* This is ok for “core logical data model”, but I’ll add a short note that federation metadata is handled in the Federation chapter and via additional entities.
++)))
++1. (((
++**Automation / AKEL artifacts left implicit**
++
++* (((
++The Data Model chapter currently doesn’t describe:
++
++* AKEL task queues
++* extraction runs
++* model versions
++)))
++* That’s fine for now; I’ll just clarify that those belong to a “Processing / AKEL” submodel, not the core logical data model.
++)))
