MACHINE ACCESS · RECORD CONTRACT 1.0 · 21 OCTOBER 2026

Resolve a record, check its file, preserve its context

Use the existing public canonical and rights records through a common metadata contract. A successful technical check describes its limited observation; it does not establish content truth, legal applicability or independent assurance.

  1. Discover. Use the public metadata index and resolve its canonical page. article, record and statement-pdf identify separate representation and file roles.
  2. Inspect identity and rights. STMT07 record example separates the SNN web representation, EMJ.LIFE controlled file, publication state, DOI state, dates and object-specific permissions. Pending review and missing grants do not authorize reuse.
  3. Check the selected file. Run the bounded PDF integrity check. The response records observed SHA-256, expected declaration, check time and scope. External DOI and source validation remain explicitly unchecked.
  4. Cite the right object. Open the citation bundle. Supply the actual access date. An original-work DOI and publisher remain separate from the SNN web context. A historical PDF uses its version and SHA-256 selector.
  5. Follow changes. STMT07 changes and all public change pages expose stable event IDs, dataset revision and continuation cursor. A 409 response means restart and reconcile by event ID. A date filter is not an exactly-once delivery watermark.

Use the returned ETag exactly. A 304 response means that representation is unchanged. Verification observations are not cached as permanent findings. No public write, private evidence or enterprise action API is introduced.

Graph queries, regional routes and reproducible history

Explore the EIA-022 one-hop subgraph. Parameters: node, depth (0–2), relationship, from, to and undated. Date filters apply to editorial assertion review dates, not legal effective dates or external-source verification.

Regional routes identify separate interpretation relationships, jurisdiction scope and the upstream canonical. A declared route has no inferred publication-confirmation date or translation equivalence. Legacy review dates remain available alongside separately named assertion and external review states.

Open the immutable pre-release graph snapshot. It preserves the actual public response captured before this release. The live graph has its own dataset version. A historical snapshot does not establish current rights, current applicability or current publication status; recheck the responsible canonical record.

Public withdrawal notices require an explicit authorized editorial action and retain only a previously public canonical route and event time. Ordinary Hide and Unpublish actions do not publish private drafts, internal snapshots or reasons. Publication state, DOI registration, institutional response and service activation remain separate.

ES/CS · SOURCE-LINKED RESEARCH

Preserve independent evidence and commitment profiles

Source-linked research context for ES/CS v1.0: evidence support for a specified claim and the authorized constitution of an undertaking remain independent, non-compensating profiles. Classify existing source fields by semantic function before assessment. Scenario weights remain separately approved and versioned; mandatory governance gates cannot be compensated.

Original DOI 10.64969/emj.framework.escs.2026.v1; publication date 2026-11 has month precision. Original source licence and SNN context rights are separate. This record supplies no universal score, credit rating, regulatory approval or authority transfer.

DEVELOPERS & AI · PUBLIC DATA CONTRACTS

Discover metadata, then resolve the canonical record

Public metadata is provided for discovery and citation. Manuscript, source-file and model-training permissions remain record-specific.

Metadata schema and executable query examples

Fields: id, title, canonicalUrl, kind, institution, frameworks, status, recordDate, updatedAt, version, doi, sourceUrl, rightsRecord, rightsScope, aiTrainingPermission and publicationType. Framework tags are editorial discovery matches. Missing dates and versions remain null.

Filters: q, institution, framework, kind, status, from, to, doi, publicationType, year and format. Dates use YYYY-MM-DD. Undated records remain included unless undated=false. The CSV contains metadata only.

Research can be filtered directly on /research with framework, publicationType, year and q. These native links remain usable without JavaScript. Editorial introductions remain distinct from controlled research records. Graph fields: node_type and relationship_type are normalized while legacy kind/type aliases remain. assertion_record and assertion_evidence_url identify the editorial assertion. source_evidence_url identifies the attributed source; a link is not proof of source revalidation. Legacy evidence_url is retained for compatibility. assertion_reviewed_at and assertion_review_scope describe the bounded editorial check. external_evidence_reviewed_at records a separate external revalidation and remains null in this review. Legacy last_reviewed_at values retain their original precision and basis; null does not erase a separately recorded assertion check. Consultations use referencesConsultationContext for official process locators, without claiming participant receipt or acceptance.

Refresh, correction, citation and review rules

Publication discovery is generated from the current public database. Metadata caches are bounded; a failed query returns an unavailable state rather than an empty successful index. Tracking editions are source-controlled and date-stamped. Next-review dates are editorial review targets, not a claim of a scheduled background task.

Cite: author or institution; title; canonical URL; relevant publication or controlled-document version; record date with its recorded precision; access date. When relying on an external institutional claim, cite the original official source as well as SNN's interpretation.

Source publication dates, SNN review dates and actual archival capture are distinct. A reviewed link does not claim a retained source-file snapshot. A DOI establishes identity, not peer review or endorsement. A correction must preserve the earlier edition and state its reason.

Only documented public discovery routes are covered here. Administrative APIs, drafts, hidden records, private evidence and source-link-only files remain excluded. No private access or automated institutional action is authorized.

MACHINE GOVERNANCE · PUBLIC DISCOVERY

Sustainability News Network exposes public institutional knowledge for retrieval and citation while preserving publisher, canonical, source and rights boundaries.

SITE ROLE

Global Canonical Knowledge and Editorial Governance Layer, not a publication mirror.

Machines may discover SNN public content under its own canonical URLs and publisher identity. EMJ.LIFE publications remain governed by their EMJ.LIFE records.

Sustainability News Network is not an EMJ.LIFE DOI publication mirror, an SNN.SG mirror, an SNN.TW mirror or a common canonical for the three regional domains. It is not an EMJ.LIFE endorsement or validation layer.

Cross-site links provide navigation and source discovery only. They do not prove ownership, parent-subsidiary status, a common publisher, a common legal entity, a common editorial controller, endorsement, assurance, certification or independent third-party validation.

Editorial interpretation is separately governed and must remain distinguishable from the primary institutional source.

SOURCE CLASSIFICATION

Resolve the source class before reusing a claim.

Visible and machine-readable classifications distinguish official records, independent external material, Sustainability News Network interpretation, related institutional sources, participation records, source-linked updates and navigation records.

Official External Source

A source issued by a standard setter, regulator, public authority, intergovernmental body or other named external institution.

Independent External Source

Attributable external research or analysis that is not represented as an official institutional record.

SNN Editorial Interpretation

Analysis, comparison, contextualisation or synthesis authored and published by Sustainability News Network.

Related Institutional Source

A source published by EMJ.LIFE, EMJ.NEXUS or another expressly identified related institutional source.

Public Participation Record

A public submission, comment letter, response or other attributable participation record.

Source-Linked Update

Sustainability News Network context that routes readers to an authoritative canonical source without reproducing it.

Navigation or Relationship Record

A page that maps source routes, categories, domains or typed knowledge relationships.

CANONICAL UPSTREAM GOVERNANCE

Use EMJ.LIFE only for the authority it expressly publishes.

Current service context and separate evidence services

EMJ.LIFE identifies EMJ LIFE HOLDINGS PTE. LTD., Singapore UEN 202445078N, as the legal service provider and EMJ.NEXUS as its governed ecosystem. Read the operator's licensed brand, ecosystem and gateway role declaration ↗.

SERVICE CATEGORY
Evidence Infrastructure as a Service (EIaaS); Pre-Disclosure Evidence Packaging Services is the customer-facing descriptor.
GOVERNED ECOSYSTEM
EMJ.NEXUS · https://www.emj.life/emj-nexus#architecture

SNN publishes separately governed global knowledge and editorial context. Original EMJ publications retain their publisher and canonical authority. A source or methodology connection supplies neither an implementation claim nor licensing or decision authority.

Enterprise purchasing purpose and evidence assets

EMJ.LIFE describes the enterprise purchasing purpose as forming, packaging and maintaining governed evidence of external behaviour and participation for authorised retrieval, handover and later review, within the accepted subscription and separately agreed compilation scope.

Retainable, traceable and version-maintained records and explicit links among entity, claim, source, time, permissions and control state. The term does not itself establish accounting recognition, financial value, tradability or additional data rights. Pre-audit and pre-evidentiary preparation organise attributable external participation materials and unresolved questions for appointed reviewers. Resolve the complete definitions and limits at EMJ.LIFE; no audit, assurance, legal opinion or acceptance outcome is supplied by this source context.

Formal compilation, DOI publication, integration and additional implementation follow the applicable accepted Order, CPS or separate statement of work. The purpose explanation does not add deliverables to a subscription. Read the canonical purpose and preparation definitions ↗.

Begin with the institutional short review ↗, gateway first read ↗ and requirement-to-evaluation path ↗. The official enterprise pricing and paid-service entry is sdgspass.com/pricing ↗. Resolve current pricing JSON ↗, capabilities JSON ↗ and commercial documents ↗ at their responsible sources.

The publisher confirms the controlled enterprise phase as Active from 24 October 2026 (GMT+13). Each enterprise still requires its applicable identity, acceptance, payment and permissions. General-public Personal access remains scheduled for 10 November 2026. Verify current service states at EMJ.LIFE ↗. SNN reports published source context; it has not tested a customer account, payment, module, security control or integration.

Module Cooldown Period at Enterprise EGC ID/module level; it governs module reactivation. Claiming is not itself an MCP event. It is not a machine interface or API entitlement. Minimum Cooling Period in MWP01 v4.0; a distinct methodological parameter with its own scope. Capacity for concurrently active approved downstream Node IDs per Enterprise EGC ID; not participant headcount, departments or MME consumption weights. NTCC, E-IPP Points and E-IPP Score represent participation evidence records and have no financial value.

MWP01 v4.0 publishes 30 module groups and 128 task specifications. Read the methodology reference ↗ and TaskID page index ↗. Actual module scope, effective commercial rules and account permissions require separate confirmation; null capability states remain unresolved.

Gateway security responsibility and certificate scope

The operator identifies ASIA VISTA TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. as responsible for security controls at the SDGS PASS and EDU SDGS PASS gateways. The public v1.6 certificate-evidence record ↗ names ASIA VISTA as holder of certificate 2026/119546.1, ISO/IEC 27001:2022. The public certificate-evidence record identifies the holder and its printed scope. SNN has not independently verified current issuer status or customer-specific processing and control coverage. The certificate does not transfer to EMJ.LIFE or certify the whole ecosystem.

SNN.TW provides separate enterprise internal corporate-governance evidence compilation through CAE, EKS, EXEC and CASE. EMJ.LIFE's enterprise service addresses external behavioural participation evidence through EMJ.NEXUS. Their providers, scopes, fees, contracts, entitlements and AI-use permissions remain separately governed. SNN.TW does not operate or activate EMJ.LIFE services.

Source observations and retained publication routes

EMJ sources read 2026-11-04: full review 1.14, short review 2.0, baseline 2.0, commercial index 1.7. SDGS PASS, commercial-index and certificate references retain their separate 25 October observation; no new gateway check is asserted. The eight commercial PDFs remain v1.2. Versions here are dated source observations, not permanent current-version declarations. Resolve each canonical URL before use; a later EMJ representation does not rewrite a gateway's earlier observation or change commercial PDFs.

EMJ GEO baseline 2.0 ↗; short review 2.0 ↗. These are explanatory representations with distinct versions, not publication editions.

Count representations for navigation only. Group representations of the same work by canonical/DOI. Repetition, cross-links and graph node counts do not create independent evidence, licensing, implementation or decision authority.

Observed response fingerprints, exact retrieval times, original-source rights, same-source groups and unresolved items are available in the existing source context JSON ↗. Re-fetch the responsible canonical when its identity, version, status, file or rights changes.

Retained 25 October context v1.1 ↗. Unverified legal-register status, contract-specific scope, customer activation and source PDF bytes in this review remain explicit review limits.

Previous dated source context ↗; source observations and fingerprints ↗.

Related institutional context does not establish independent validation or transfer rights. Each primary source keeps its own reading, citation and reuse rules.

NETWORK ROLES

Four domains, four expressly stated functions.

Each domain retains its own canonical, publisher and editorial identity. Links express navigation, source attribution and typed institutional relationships only.

REGIONAL PUBLICATION CONTROL

Regional discovery follows a public editorial protocol.

Machines must preserve the global canonical record and treat each regional interpretation as a separate, locally sourced publication.

Read the Regional Interpretation Protocol ↗Open machine-readable protocol ↗

A regional route is not proof of identical content, automatic synchronization, an identical legal conclusion, a shared editorial conclusion or endorsement.

PUBLIC AND RESTRICTED EVIDENCE

Public metadata is not a route to restricted evidence.

Public pages, metadata, DOI records and registries describe the public boundary only.

Private contracts, non-public licensing schedules, negotiated commercial terms, credentials, private correspondence, internal evidence, confidential legal records and restricted APIs are not public sources. EMJ.LIFE's published service pricing is public information for evaluation, not proof of enterprise activation.

They must not be inferred, reconstructed or exposed from omissions, links, technical access or public metadata.

RESPONSIBLE MACHINE USE

Machine readability does not create authority.

Sustainability News Network supports responsible public retrieval and citation.

Machine-readable access does not authorize unsupported inference, private-data access, automated action, representation of institutional approval or substitution for human and institutional judgment.
