Technical Working Group determination

The Technical Working Group must review the current Property Pack ontology candidate as-is and make an initial determination by the end of September 2026. This accelerated review allows the component to support time-critical government-scheme work before every domain working group has completed a separate review.

Milestone and boundary

Milestone

End of September 2026

Current state

Pending; no determination recorded

Candidate

0.1.0-draft

Scope

The Property Pack component, not the whole SPDTF ontology

Later review

Domain, scheme and Interoperability working groups may propose controlled changes after the initial determination

External authority

No government approval or delegated authority recorded

Evidence set

• The exact 451-item Property Pack definition and source catalogue.
• PDTF schema and schema-derived ontology lineage, including the incomplete semantic crosswalk.
• The complete candidate model, contextual boundaries, resources, relationships and controlled vocabularies.
• Candidate source-coverage evidence and technical validation receipts.
• The bounded standards profile and explicit non-claims.

Review questions

1. Does the candidate cover the Property Pack definition needed for the September milestone?
2. Are the proposed identities, definitions, contextual boundaries and relationships fit for the initial determination?
3. Which qualifications or changes are required before the determined version can be recorded?
4. Which issues may safely proceed to later domain-group review, and which block the initial determination?
5. What use, if any, is authorised after determination, and what claims remain prohibited?

Decision record requirements

Before the site may say “determined”, Governance must record the group’s canonical identity, delegated remit, decision owner, quorum or decision rule, evidence set, allowed outcome, qualifications, dissent, escalation path, date and immutable candidate digest. Those fields are not yet complete, so this page makes no decision claim.
