Source identity
Know where each record began.
Data & Integration
Connect systems without erasing provenance.
Use source and object registries to integrate data while retaining identity, transformation history, units and warnings.
Object mapping
Make semantic mappings explicit.
Compatibility
Use bounded adapters without overstating fidelity.
Truthful boundary
Evidence before assumption.
Native-CAD, STEP and IGES fidelity is never claimed unless a supported adapter proves it.
