The public list is a dataset release; each designation links a subject to a legal program and measure for a defined period.
The canonical real-world object survives listing and delisting events.
Carries program, measure, legal basis, source and effective dates.
Listed names and transliterations are evidence-backed identity records.
Every release can be diffed
Immutable source snapshots make additions, removals and corrections traceable without overwriting the past.
The exact publication is retained with observed time and rights.
Candidates remain separate from reviewed canonical links.
Atlas can explain what changed between consecutive releases.
Published facts
Source-scoped facts; versions, periods and legal dates remain explicit.
