Vocabularies

The closed vocabularies a report and the protocol objects are stated in, and the registered vocabularies a verifier holds, as their machine-readable files declare them. The rules that govern them are in part 12, Verification vocabularies.

Statuses and verdicts

From VERIFICATION_VOCABULARIES.json.

Verification statuses

verification_receipt.status and verification_summary.status take one of these values.

Status	Registry verdict it maps to
pass	PASS
warning	WARN
review	REVIEW
fail	FAIL

Registry verdicts

registry_entry.verdict takes one of these values.

Verdict	Statuses that map to it
PASS	pass
WARN	warning
REVIEW	review
FAIL	fail

Registered vocabularies

The values a verifier holds for the kinds asset_type, workflow and anchoring_method, from vocabularies/ of loquitur-protocol. Their document format is fixed by registered-vocabularies/schema.json.

asset_type

From vocabularies/asset_type.json. Kind asset_type, vocabulary version 1.0.0, 2 values.

Value	Title	Since	Status	Profile
fund_nav	Fund net asset value	1.0.0	active	none
property	Real property	1.0.0	active	none

workflow

From vocabularies/workflow.json. Kind workflow, vocabulary version 1.0.0, 4 values.

Value	Title	Since	Status	Profile	Asset types
fund_nav_initial	Initial fund NAV evidence	1.0.0	active	none	fund_nav
fund_nav_update	Fund NAV update	1.0.0	active	none	fund_nav
property_pre_listing	Property pre-listing evidence	1.0.0	active	none	property
property_review	Property periodic review	1.0.0	active	none	property

anchoring_method

From vocabularies/anchoring_method.json. Kind anchoring_method, vocabulary version 1.0.0, 3 values.

Value	Title	Since	Status	Profile
blockchain_transaction	A transaction recorded on a blockchain	1.0.0	active	none
rfc3161_timestamp	An RFC 3161 time-stamp token	1.0.0	active	none
transparency_log_checkpoint	A checkpoint of a transparency log	1.0.0	active	none

Compatibility classes

The classes a protocol change is classified under, from compatibility-classes.json.

Class	Rank	Consumer coordination	New protocol version	Meaning
wire-exact	0	required	not required	Exact canonical bytes, field presence, algorithm and expected outcome are unchanged.
semantic-exact	1	required	not required	Wire representation may be regenerated without changing parsed meaning or expected outcome.
additive-compatible	2	required	required	Optional capability is added and every older consumer remains conforming for the pre-existing profile.
breaking	3	required	required	Existing valid bytes, accepted objects or expected outcomes change. Coordinated migration and downgrade policy are mandatory.
wire-exact-legacy	4	required	required	Current behavior is frozen only to make a known defect explicit. It must be superseded by a new profile, never silently edited.
implementation-assurance	5	not required	not required	Security or robustness corpus that does not itself define protocol semantics.
governance-only	6	not required	not required	Ownership, process or metadata change with no wire or expected-outcome change.
source-api-breaking	7	required	not required	Public source-language or compile-time consumer contracts change while accepted JSON bytes, protocol wire semantics and expected verification outcomes remain unchanged.
vocabulary-registration	8	not required	not required	A value is added to, or deprecated in, a registered vocabulary. No schema, closed vocabulary or rule changes; a consumer holding an earlier version of the vocabulary reports the value as unknown and remains conforming.

A change that is not classified is breaking. Schema version loquitur.compatibility_classes.v1.
