Refreshingly precise, Jessica! This also reminds me of the work we are doing at The Norwegian National Archives (where I am hired as an ontologist). We are building an ontology to describe Records, much like Records in Context, but with a much broader perspective, and with a high focus on WHY the Record exists (no: Formål). Also with mappings to CIDOC which covers similar aspects. We are also building an sub-ontology (we have this origo-architecture <3) to cover process information in AI-processes. Like what models used, tech specs, agents involved etc in regards to e.g. image recognition and such.

Thank you, Veronika! Libraries and archives are great examples of how records and ontologies work together to surface decision and execution traces. But most importantly, the descriptive logic and provenance :)

Always “why the record exists”.
