Hard-Stop Rules

These rules must never be violated. Violations require immediate halt and review.

• Never allow dangling references in triplet logic relationships
• Never introduce ambiguous or duplicate term definitions
• Never break backward compatibility of taxonomy schemas without migration plan

Mandatory Rules

These rules must be followed in all circumstances.

• All terms must have unique, unambiguous definitions
• Triplet logic must be complete (subject-predicate-object)
• Cross-domain terminology must be validated for consistency
• Ontology graphs must be updated with every schema change

Preferred Practices

Best practices that should be followed when possible.

• Use formal classification hierarchies with clear parent-child relationships
• Provide relationship graphs alongside schema definitions
• Include cross-domain terminology mapping tables
