Structured fact data: a provenance-first JSON design

02 FIELDNOTES / TOPIC
Source monitoring
A focused reading path through The Evidence Journal. Evidence does not stop changing after a citation is published. These articles connect versioned records with source-watch processes so corrections and updates can lead to the right review action rather than an unexplained alert.
How to use this collection
Begin with the structured-data model to connect claims, passages, and assessments. Then use the source-watch operating model to establish a baseline, classify signals, deduplicate events, and assign a review owner. Preserve whether a change was newly published or merely newly observed, and record why a dependent claim was revised or left unchanged.
Start with the Source watch guide, then follow the fieldnotes below. All examples are illustrative and each article points to its own editorial source.
