Semantic classes
Different links answer different questions
Categories organize the graph; they are not a hierarchy of evidentiary value.Direct routes from an encoded object or measure to its public evidence record.
Bounded same-entity, same-economy, or official product attribution links.
Observed profile membership, indicator coverage, and declared screening context.
