Normalized model
Deterministic generated data that retains every authored contribution and derived index.
Points in this Area
5 PointsThe independent reader proves consumer agreement
Exact comparison tests provenance, ordering, Area explanations, relation notes, and indexes as consumer-visible output.
Invalid input withholds normalized output
Withholding normalized output prevents invalid records from being mistaken for a partially trustworthy model.
Points have Atlas-wide identity
Retained paths and record order make the assembled identity reproducible and auditable.
Portable files enable independent processing
Independent comparison targets the full normalized model, not merely whether both tools can parse the files.
Resolved processing preserves provenance
The output preserves explained Area memberships, relation notes, record paths, and derived indexes instead of flattening contributions.
