## Interpretation and reuse
Record review, source authenticity, claim support, source independence and practice status are separate. Preserve coverage, locators, dates, contradictions and quality_issues. Unknown and provisional values must remain explicit. Publication dates do not establish practice dates or present-day status. Claims about an item may cite sources other than a selected disclosure. This seed collection is incomplete and does not measure prevalence.

The catalogue's own metadata is CC0 1.0. Cited works, audio, video and documents retain their own rights; an accessible link is not a reuse license for the source work.
