Satoshium Registry Definitions

The coordinated institutional environment containing Satoshium Registry and the other Suite institutions, governed by Suite Standards, Suite Methodology, and Suite Interoperability.

The Suite institution responsible for canonical registration, SREG identity, Registry classification, Registry-owned metadata, Registry Relationships, Validation, Publication, Versioning, Corrections, Status, Lifecycle, Catalog presentation, History, Transparency, and related institutional Governance.

Satoshium Registry understood as an enduring institutional authority, distinct from any individual SREG, web page, schema, Catalog, or software implementation.

A defined institution within Satoshium Suite that holds authority over a distinct functional domain, such as Atlas, Certifier, Registry, Chronicle, Anchor, Beacon, Attestor, or Navigator.

The institution, organization, authority, system, or recognized origin responsible for the authoritative meaning of a Source Record.

A Source Institution or governing authority outside Satoshium Suite whose records, identifiers, rights, or decisions may be referenced by Registry without becoming Registry-owned.

The canonical Registry operational object used to identify, classify, describe, relate, version, publish, correct, preserve, and resolve a registrable Source Record or Registry-governed object.

The full-form name for a SREG. Within Registry architecture, “Registry Entry” and “SREG” refer to the same canonical operational object.

A general term for a record maintained by Registry. Depending on context, it may refer to a SREG or to a Registry-owned supporting record such as a Validation Record, Publication Record, Correction Record, History Record, Governance Decision Record, Scope Record, or Transparency Record.

A governed Registry classification assigned to a SREG, such as Tool, Jurisdiction, Media, Certification, Attestation, Signal, Event, Integrity Reference, Workflow, Institution, Schema, Policy, Procedure, or Governance Decision.

A governed schema specialization defining the additional fields, Controlled Values, relationships, Validation rules, and Publication requirements applicable to a particular Registry Record Type.

Any object governed or maintained directly by Registry, including SREGs, supporting Registry Records, schemas, profiles, Controlled-Value Sets, Catalog indexes, Policies, Procedures, and Governance materials.

A record, artifact, resource, decision, event, package, statement, signal, or other source-domain object created or controlled by a Source Institution and represented by Registry without transferring its authority.

The institutional authority responsible for the substantive meaning, status, outcome, rights, or source-domain lifecycle of a Source Record.
