Evidence Graph — Source Contract

Direct answer

Evidence Graph — Source Contract is implemented as a source-bounded source contract guide.

Answer contract

Apply the source contract lens only to the exact inspected source scope; do not infer authority from adjacent topics.

Evidence and exact locators

w3c-prov-o-evidence-graph-t9 — https://www.w3.org/TR/prov-o/ — Recommendation, 30 April 2013; Entities, Activities and Agents; used; wasGeneratedBy; wasDerivedFrom; wasAssociatedWith; wasAttributedTo. Supports: PROV-O can represent typed provenance between entities, activities, agents, inputs, outputs, derivations, associations, and attributions.

datacite-schema-evidence-graph-t9 — https://datacite-metadata-schema.readthedocs.io/en/4.6/ — version 4.6; Identifier; Creator; Contributor; Version; RelatedIdentifier; Rights. Supports: Versioned metadata can name research objects, contributors, versions, typed relations, and rights statements.

What the evidence does not establish

PROV represents asserted provenance; it does not verify truth, completeness, authentication, rights, causal validity, or passage-level claim support.

Metadata fields do not establish source quality, lawful collection, relationship truth, or that one object supports another object’s claim.

Rights and reuse

Publicly accessible source; link and bounded paraphrase only. No source text is redistributed.

Source or implementation

This source or implementation section is constrained to the same inspected scope: PROV-O can represent typed provenance between entities, activities, agents, inputs, outputs, derivations, associations, and attributions. Versioned metadata can name research objects, contributors, versions, typed relations, and rights statements.

It must preserve the recorded boundary: PROV represents asserted provenance; it does not verify truth, completeness, authentication, rights, causal validity, or passage-level claim support. Metadata fields do not establish source quality, lawful collection, relationship truth, or that one object supports another object’s claim.
