Which concepts exist, and how do their meanings and scopes relate?
Researched designNot deployed
Question§
Which concepts exist, and how do their meanings and scopes relate?
Nodes§
Concept; Preferred label; Alternative label; Concept scheme
Relationship sketch§
- concept → broader/narrower concept
- concept → related concept
- label → concept
Evidence inputs§
Domain definitions, terminology decisions, source backed distinctions, and reader questions.
Implementation§
Use controlled concepts to connect documents without making each term a public page. Record synonyms separately from broader concepts; avoid overspecific taxonomies that users cannot navigate.
Acceptance checks§
- Broader than relationships are not mistaken for same identity links
- Ambiguous abbreviations have definitions
- Concept revisions preserve stable identifiers
Do not infer§
A dense taxonomy does not certify topical authority or completeness of expertise.
Publication boundary§
A helpful subset may be published; internal editorial notes stay private.
Source basis§
