# G03 Cross domain operating and ownership graph

## Question

How are the owner, organizations, brands, websites, and publications related?

## Nodes

Person; Organization; Brand; Domain; Publication

## Relationship sketch

* verified ownership assertion → evidence
* website → operating organization
* publication → publisher

## Evidence inputs

Explicit ownership/operating statements, domain control evidence where authorized, and approved publisher assignments.

## Implementation

Keep private ownership assertions as qualified claims; map only supported relationships into public vocabulary. Domain control, employment, founding, and publishing are different predicates.

## Acceptance checks

* No sameAs links connect merely affiliated businesses
* Every ownership or founder assertion has evidence
* The person and all website IDs remain distinct

## Do not infer

Common ownership is not identity equivalence, editorial independence, or proof of founding.

## Publication boundary

Relationship summary may be public; contracts and control records normally remain private.
