Atlas classification system

Relationship ontology

Definitions for the relationships used in the atlas. Each explains what the link records, which direction it follows, and what cannot be inferred from it.

Every type definesMeaning, direction, evidence basis, layer, family contract, and edge-level custody.
No type establishesComparability, importance, ownership, control, liability, market definition, or causation unless the underlying record says so.

How every Atlas edge is encoded

Counts are exact within the selected layer. Bars use a logarithmic scale so small but distinct contracts remain visible.

Semantic classes

Different links answer different questions

Categories organize the graph; they are not a hierarchy of evidentiary value.
