Standards Integration¶

AR is designed to work with existing standards.

It does not replace domain standards, ontologies, schemas, citation systems, recordkeeping systems, or institutional vocabularies.

Governance source data lives in:

data/governance/

Mapping source data lives in:

data/mappings/
data/subject-mappings/

Purpose¶

Many systems already use standards.

AR provides an accountability-oriented layer for exported records, profiles, reports, mappings, verification semantics, and package composition.

Examples¶

AR may be mapped to or used alongside:

• JSON Schema;
• RDF;
• OWL;
• SHACL;
• PROV-O;
• DCAT;
• legal citation standards;
• archival standards;
• domain-specific schemas and ontologies.

Mapping Instead of Replacement¶

A profile may keep a domain standard as its operational vocabulary while mapping selected structures into AR roles.

This lets AR check accountable-record structure without claiming ownership of the domain vocabulary.

Boundary¶

AR integration does not make an external standard canonical for AR.

It records how a profile uses or maps that standard for accountable-record purposes.
