um.   ok.  well. i think the list is a baseline.  if documented somewhere
it should support provenance at least to the highly motivated.

Beyond that,

the power of linked-data is well established via various means in utility
today. For specifications work to specify by way of an outdated model,
would seemingly, and somewhat naturally, create preferential circumstances
for participants who've established business models based upon any-such
previous iterative approaches rather than in the benefit of science / the
market.

This is somewhat similar to the concept of diminishing the means for a
medical cure, through process, as to support the sale of treatment for a
disease that may be otherwise curable and/or treated in a manner that
precludes a higher treatment-lifespan ARPU (average revenue per user).

I'm therefore considering how to nominate a use-case that highlights the
concept of one signed document located on one server, referencing another,
multiplied; and in-turn, the capacity for a human to identify they're, for
example, have a drivers license, without having to specify their DOB.  (ie:
assumption is they're over a certain age, et.al).

part of this consideration is of course the concept that a multitude of
issuers participate in the delivery of a 'bundled' claim.

I'm not sure how best to communicate this in a format that will be accepted
by the 'consumers' of these 'credentials'.

So, thinking about it laterally...

I make a claim that i invented something.  I have it initially documented,
then 'post' it and have it certified to a date-stamp by the local post
provider.

i then refine the idea overtime, and have that dated by the same provider.

I then go and do my patent search process, where i find additional patents
which i need to reference and consider what i invented vs. what was
invented by others.

The end result needs to be lodged to my IP lawyer, who wants something akin
to a 'inventors supervisor' which is in-turn made 'bot', due to creds.

more work is done, et.al.

In-Turn, a 'package' is formed as to identify the moment in which a
'priority date' may be considered by a court, who in-turn may make a
decision that says either the 'actor' has been working in the shed on a
dream that destroys the means for their kids to have a happy and
well-supported life, or that his crazy because its all been done before and
he should have known that...

ideology plays a part in this linked-data world.

I'm not sure what the answer is, yet, i'm concerned that the responses look
very historical in nature.
