Re: Terminology poll

Reviewing it;  are there any other words for the 'inspector'....?

I was looking at 'trust law' (trustee, beneficiary, bequest, et.al.) for
ideas.

Given the crypto would be a legal instrument of the 'issuer', whatever that
instrument says and indeed whether or not it works; is solely upto the
creator of the signed document.

Regardless of who receives that document (depending on use-case, et.al.)
the recipient / examiner seeks to test the crypto and do something on the
basis of the remarks made in the document; yet once that document has been
provided, the solution doesn't stop anyone from storing that document or
duplicating it's contents, to create a new signed document with different
signatures.

Any other examples of these sorts of '3 pillar systems' for the purposes of
trust, in traditional society we can use to figure out a use-case neutral
format for the language?

ie: judiciary, executive, parliament:

or re: a form of behavioural models:

The other thing i wanted to note; was that if ontological terms are noted;
but the terms they're pointed to are not version controlled, then the
instrument may in-future say something different, to what it was designed
to say when it was created.

Example i've used before is: https://schema.org/Physician = a place today,
perhaps in the future it might be a person or profession attributed to a
person; rather than perhaps, a place of work?

understanding this could be avoided by defining the descriptions; or
providing a copy of those descriptions in the document; perhaps these
things have different 'classes' which could be described in ontological
form to figure out at what level someone should rely upon the document
itself (rather than assertions being put upon a technology method,
regardless of how that technology method has been employed by
authors/users/consumers).

I know we have more time. i just wanted to raise these ideas sooner rather
than later.
