This page defines operational status and source-role terms used in the Work Vault Wiki.

Status Terms

Canonical

Approved or explicitly current source-of-record material.

Current guidance

Operational guidance that should be followed unless superseded.

Candidate

Material proposed for possible reuse but not yet approved.

Draft

Work in progress.

Archive

Retained for history or provenance.

Deprecated

Material that should not be treated as current except when discussing history or lineage.

Generated index

A page produced from scripts, manifests, inventories, or other repo data.

Review queue

Material awaiting classification, duplicate review, conversion, or human adjudication.

Source Role Terms

Semantic wiki layer

Markdown/wiki pages used for navigation, compression, and interpretation.

Raw artifact

Original or source-like file preserved as evidence or witness.

Witness/reference material

Material that should be preserved and cited but not necessarily treated as current semantic canon.

Inbound original

A provenance-bearing intake file.

Standard-named source copy

A normalized or repo-standard source file preferred for citation when available.

Published external metadata

Metadata imported from an external published surface.

Rule

When status is unclear, say so. Do not silently promote material to canon.
