6.1 | 3 | This page describes the current data model for FactHarbor v0.9.1. |
| |
1.1 | 4 | |
| |
5.1 | 5 | == Versioning Strategy == |
| 6 | |||
| 7 | Every entity in FactHarbor has a full immutable version history. This ensures: | ||
| 8 | * Complete auditability | ||
| 9 | * Ability to reconstruct historical state | ||
| 10 | * Federation-compatible lineage tracking | ||
| 11 | * Transparent evolution of claims, scenarios, and verdicts | ||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | === Core Versioning Principles === | ||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | **Immutability**: | ||
| 16 | * Each version is stored independently | ||
| 17 | * Versions cannot be deleted, only superseded | ||
| 18 | * Historical versions remain accessible | ||
| 19 | |||
| 20 | **Lineage**: | ||
| 21 | * Each version links to its parent via `ParentVersionID` | ||
| 22 | * Forms directed acyclic graph (DAG) of changes | ||
| 23 | * Supports branching in federated environments | ||
| 24 | |||
| 25 | **Provenance**: | ||
| 26 | * Every version timestamped (`CreatedAt`) | ||
| 27 | * Author type recorded (`AuthorType`: Human, AI, ExternalNode) | ||
| 28 | * Justification captured (`JustificationText`) | ||
| 29 | * Digital signatures for integrity (`SignatureHash` in Release 1.0) | ||
| 30 | |||
| 31 | **Federation Support**: | ||
| 32 | * Versions can originate from remote nodes | ||
| 33 | * Conflict detection via lineage comparison | ||
| 34 | * Parallel version trees for branching scenarios | ||
| 35 | * Cross-node version synchronization | ||
| 36 | |||
| 37 | === Common Version Fields === | ||
| 38 | |||
| 39 | All versioned entities include: | ||
| 40 | |||
| 41 | * **VersionID**: Unique identifier for this specific version | ||
| 42 | * **ParentVersionID**: Link to previous version (null for first version) | ||
| 43 | * **CreatedAt**: Timestamp (ISO 8601, UTC) | ||
| 44 | * **AuthorType**: Human | AI | ExternalNode | ||
| |
6.1 | 45 | * **CreatedBy**: Foreign key to User or TechnicalUser |
| |
5.1 | 46 | * **JustificationText**: Brief explanation of changes |
| |
6.1 | 47 | * **PublicationMode**: Mode1 (draft) | Mode2 (AI-published) | Mode3 (human-reviewed) |
| 48 | * **ReviewStatus**: Workflow state (draft|in_review|approved|rejected) | ||
| 49 | * **NodeOrigin**: Node ID where version was created (for federation) | ||
| |
5.1 | 50 | * **SignatureHash**: Cryptographic signature (Release 1.0) |
| 51 | |||

| 86 | |||
| 87 | === Content Entities === | ||
| 88 | |||
| |
2.1 | 89 | The system relies on the following versioned core entities: |

2.1 | 173 | |
| |
5.1 | 174 | == Many-to-Many Linking Tables == |
| |
1.1 | 175 | |
| |
6.1 | 176 | **ScenarioEvidenceLink**: |
| 177 | * Links scenario versions to evidence versions with relevance scoring | ||
| 178 | * ``ScenarioID``, ``ScenarioVersionID`` | ||
| 179 | * ``EvidenceID``, ``EvidenceVersionID`` | ||
| |
5.1 | 180 | * ``RelevanceScore`` (0–1) - How relevant this evidence is to this scenario |
| 181 | * ``LinkJustification`` - Brief explanation of relevance | ||
| 182 | |||
| 183 | **Purpose**: | ||
| 184 | * Evidence can be used by multiple scenarios | ||
| 185 | * Scenarios can draw from multiple pieces of evidence | ||
| 186 | * Relevance scoring helps prioritize evidence | ||
| 187 | * Version-specific linking preserves historical accuracy | ||
| 188 | |||
| |
6.1 | 189 | **ClaimCluster**: |
| 190 | * Semantic clustering of similar claims | ||
| |
5.1 | 191 | * ``ClusterID`` (PK) |
| 192 | * ``EmbeddingVector`` - Vector representation for semantic search | ||
| 193 | * ``MemberList`` - List of ClaimIDs in this cluster | ||
| 194 | * ``Theme`` - Human-readable theme description | ||
| 195 | |||
| |
6.1 | 196 | ---- |
| |
5.1 | 197 | |
| |
6.1 | 198 | == Key Changes in v0.9.1 == |
| 199 | |||
| 200 | **Updated Field Names**: | ||
| 201 | * `SafetyCategory` → `RiskTier` (consistency with risk tier system A/B/C) | ||
| 202 | * `SafetyClass` removed from Scenario (redundant with claim-level RiskTier) | ||
| 203 | |||
| 204 | **Added Fields to All Version Entities**: | ||
| 205 | * `PublicationMode` - Track Mode 1/2/3 status | ||
| 206 | * `ReviewStatus` - Track workflow state | ||
| 207 | * `NodeOrigin` - Federation provenance | ||
| 208 | * `CreatedBy` - FK to User/TechnicalUser (clarified) | ||
| 209 | |||
| 210 | **New Entity**: | ||
| 211 | * `TECHNICAL_USER` - Separate system processes from human users | ||
| 212 | |||
| 213 | **Clarifications**: | ||
| 214 | * `ScenarioVersionID` in Verdict (not just ScenarioID) - links to specific version | ||
| 215 | * `ContentHash` in Evidence - SHA256 for integrity checking | ||
| 216 | |||
| |
5.1 | 217 | ---- |
| 218 | |||
| 219 | == Data Model Behavior == | ||
| 220 | |||
| 221 | === Late-Arriving Evidence === | ||
| 222 | |||
| 223 | When new evidence versions appear: | ||
| 224 | 1. Existing verdicts marked as **outdated** | ||
| 225 | 2. Scenario relevance must be re-evaluated | ||
| 226 | 3. Re-evaluation engine triggers verdict recomputation | ||
| 227 | 4. New verdict versions created | ||
| 228 | 5. Users notified of updates | ||
| 229 | |||
| 230 | === Scenario Evolution === | ||
| 231 | |||
| 232 | When a scenario's assumptions or definitions change: | ||
| |
6.1 | 233 | * Creates new scenario version (not in-place update) |
| |
5.1 | 234 | * All dependent verdicts must be recalculated |
| 235 | * Previous scenario versions remain accessible | ||
| |
6.1 | 236 | * Version lineage preserved |
| |
5.1 | 237 | |
| 238 | === Federated Nodes === | ||
| 239 | |||
| 240 | Each node may share partial data: | ||
| |
6.1 | 241 | * Claims and scenarios shared if relevant |
| 242 | * Evidence metadata shared, not always full files | ||
| 243 | * Version synchronization via NodeOrigin tracking | ||
| 244 | * Branching allowed for divergent interpretations | ||
| |
