Embedded Semantics glossary

Governed definitions for semantic outcomes, identifiers, authorization boundaries, and machine discovery.

Updated

ConceptCode

A published identifier for one governed concept. It is accepted only from a structurally valid resolved response.

Canonical citation

Resolved

A resolver outcome that identifies exactly one published concept and satisfies the response contract.

Canonical citation

Unknown

A resolver outcome stating that no governed concept can be assigned from the submitted expression.

Canonical citation

Ambiguous

A resolver outcome stating that more than one governed concept remains plausible; no ConceptCode is accepted.

Canonical citation

Semantic authorization

A separate decision about whether a resolved identity may be used for an action. Resolution alone never grants it.

Canonical citation

Representation validator

A content-derived HTTP entity tag used to revalidate one exact machine-readable byte representation without asserting semantic truth.

Canonical citation

API catalog

The RFC 9727 well-known Linkset that identifies the publisher's public API endpoints and their first-party descriptions.

Canonical citation

Discovery receipt

The deterministic route inventory in the first-party discovery document. It states each machine representation's path, media type, content location, methods, cache policy, and conditional-request behavior without granting semantic authority.
