Scientific Admissibility Evidence Records: A Research Data Exchange ProposalGoodShyt Group Inc.deonte@goodshyt.funThis document proposes interoperable evidence record fields for reproducible research workflows. It is an independent working draft and is not an IETF publication or standard.
IntroductionResearch archives need immutable source identifiers and typed evidence claims. This proposal is informational.Record FieldsEach record carries source_id, locator, digest, claim_id, evidence_tier, falsifier, validation_status, and release_status. Missing fields are represented explicitly as unknown.ProcessingImplementations MUST NOT convert an unknown result to a false result or a passing integrity check into an empirical validity claim. A revision MUST preserve the prior record and link to it.Security and Privacy ConsiderationsImplementations SHOULD minimize personal data and MUST NOT publish credentials. Digests are integrity checks, not proof of truth or ownership.IANA ConsiderationsThis document requests no IANA actions.References
