● Core Framework
Structured Exploration
Query Types organize information requests into consistent categories that improve retrieval, analysis, and presentation.
Navigator · Query Classification Framework
Query Types
Query Types define the primary categories of information requests supported by Satoshium Navigator.
Different questions require different retrieval, comparison, filtering, and analytical approaches. Query Types provide the structure that helps Navigator organize those activities.
Purpose of Query Types
● Discovery Framework
Efficient Navigation
Different query types help users move more efficiently from questions to relevant information and outputs.
Query Type Categories
Jurisdiction Queries
Focused on countries, states, provinces, territories, regions, and related jurisdictional records.
Comparison Queries
Designed to evaluate similarities, differences, relationships, and contextual distinctions between multiple subjects.
Signal Queries
Retrieve information associated with observable indicators, trends, measurements, classifications, and analytical categories.
Trust Dimension Queries
Focus on characteristics such as stability, transparency, predictability, accessibility, and consistency.
Historical Queries
Explore timelines, change records, historical developments, Chronicle entries, and contextual history.
Research Queries
Combine multiple information categories, records, filters, and analytical frameworks to support broader investigation.
Filter-Based Queries
Apply specific criteria to refine retrieved information according to objectives, categories, or areas of interest.
Custom Queries
User-defined requests that combine multiple query types into specialized exploration and analysis workflows.
Query Characteristics
Structured
Queries follow defined frameworks that improve consistency, usability, and retrieval quality.
Traceable
Query results maintain visibility into supporting records, references, and information sources.
Flexible
Query structures can support simple information requests or complex analytical investigations.
Filterable
Query results may be refined using jurisdiction, signal, time, category, or custom filters.
Comparable
Many query types support side-by-side evaluation and comparative analysis.
Expandable
Queries may evolve as additional systems, records, and capabilities become available.
Query Type Workflow
Query Types help organize questions into structured exploration pathways that improve retrieval, analysis, and understanding.

Relationship to Navigator
Query Types provide the organizational framework that helps Navigator determine how information should be retrieved, filtered, compared, analyzed, and presented.
By classifying information requests into structured categories, Navigator can provide more consistent and meaningful exploration experiences.
Open Navigator → View Queries →Relationship to Atlas
Many Query Types operate on information originating from Atlas. Jurisdiction records, signals, evidence, metadata, trust dimensions, and related resources may be accessed through different query classifications.
Query Types help organize how Atlas information is retrieved without altering Atlas as the underlying source repository.

Atlas provides intelligence.
Certifier provides evaluations.
Registry provides records.
Chronicle provides historical context.
Anchor provides integrity references.
Beacon improves discoverability.
Attestor provides evidentiary assertions.

Disclaimer
Query Types are organizational frameworks intended to improve information retrieval, exploration, comparison, and understanding.
Classification of a query does not determine the accuracy, truthfulness, or completeness of retrieved information.
Users remain responsible for evaluating information, reviewing supporting records, and drawing their own conclusions.
Query Type Status
The Query Type Framework serves as a foundational component of Navigator's retrieval architecture and supports structured exploration across the ecosystem.
Version 1.0 focuses on jurisdiction queries,
comparison queries, signal queries,
trust dimension queries, historical queries,
research queries, and custom query workflows.
