About this ontology
An overlay ontology for factories that produce claims, not just artifacts. It types evidence, citations, verifier signatures and validator weight, so a downstream consumer can ask 'why should I believe this?' and get a structured answer. Pairs naturally with research and analysis blueprints.
Node types4 kinds
Claim- An assertion produced by the factory.
Evidence- A retrieved source backing or refuting a claim.
Signature- A verifier's or validator's attestation on a claim.
Weight- The trust weight attached to a signer.
