Test ID: CC-PUB-GATE-01
Version: 0.1
Date: 29 September 2026
Standing: INTERNAL โ EXECUTED PUBLICATION-GATE TEST. No publication authorised.
Target: Codex Structural Vocabulary v1.1 โ Revision Candidate
Purpose
Test the v1.1 revision candidate against independent non-health/non-Arqua fixtures, established external semantic standards, the Commons Non-Promotion principle, and publication-boundary requirements.
Gate A โ Independent-domain hostile fixtures
A1 โ Software/API specification
Published Reference โ Accepted Design โ Implemented โ Observed.
Result: PASS.
A2 โ Scientific research publication
Publication โ universal correctness. Association โ cause. Population evidence โ individual sufficiency.
Result: PASS.
A3 โ Regulatory/legal guidance
Representation of regulatory authority โ creation of regulatory authority. Publication in Commons โ legal effect. Mapping โ adoption.
Result: PASS.
A4 โ Cultural/custodial vocabulary
Representation / mapping โ custodial authority.
Result: PASS.
A5 โ Vendor capability statement
Source assertion โ implementation โ observed behaviour โ conformance.
Result: PASS.
Gate B โ External semantic-standard collision/reuse review
B1 โ W3C PROV-O
Official source: PROV-O: The PROV Ontology
PROV-O already provides standard provenance concepts including Entity, Activity, Agent, attribution, association, derivation, revision and qualified relations.
Result: PASS WITH REUSE REQUIREMENT.
Commons should reuse PROV-O where machine-readable provenance is later authorised rather than implement competing provenance machinery.
B2 โ W3C SKOS
Official source: SKOS Reference
SKOS provides mapping relations including closeMatch and exactMatch with defined semantics.
Result: PASS WITH QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENT.
QMAP/Commons should reuse SKOS mapping predicates where their semantics fit and preserve purpose, basis, scope, evidence and standing around those mappings.
B3 โ OWL 2
Official source: OWL 2 Overview
OWL sameness and class/property equivalence have formal entailment consequences distinct from purpose-qualified semantic mapping.
Result: PASS WITH NEW v1.1 CLARIFICATION REQUIRED.
Codex equivalence is qualified equivalence for a declared purpose/scope unless a stronger external equivalence relation is explicitly asserted under that relation's own semantics.
Therefore qualified semantic equivalence โ formal identity.
B4 โ SHACL
Official sources: SHACL and SHACL 1.2 Core
SHACL defines graph constraints and validation. Future machine-readable implementation should bind to an explicit SHACL version.
Result: PASS WITH VERSION BOUNDARY.
SHACL validation/conformance result โ institutional acceptance, authority or runtime admissibility.
Gate C โ Non-Promotion consistency
- canonical Commons standing โ external authority: BLOCKED;
- mapping โ identity: BLOCKED;
- qualified equivalence โ OWL identity: BLOCKED;
- evidence sufficient for P1 โ sufficient for P2: BLOCKED;
- interpretation โ fact/cause: BLOCKED;
- new version โ rewritten history: BLOCKED;
- validation/conformance โ enterprise acceptance: BLOCKED.
Result: STRONG PASS.
Overall result
PASS WITH ONE REQUIRED AMENDMENT.
After the Equivalence clarification is incorporated, the semantic-content gate may close as PUBLICATION-READY CANDIDATE โ OWNER DECISION STILL REQUIRED.
This does not publish v1.1, supersede v1.0, or authorise RDF/OWL/JSON-LD/SHACL, GitHub, API or MCP implementation.
Decision
CC-PUB-GATE-01 โ PASS WITH REQUIRED EQUIVALENCE AMENDMENT.
