Ontology Root Relocation Review

Unit: ontology-root-relocation Status: Closed Disposition: Accepted on 2026-09-20 Decision: ADR-A77 Status record: Ontology Root Relocation Status Governing ADR: ADR-A77

Review Outcome

The safety conditions were satisfied. The common LATTICE semantic roots were moved into ontology/. This review excludes the later MORK and SPC split units.

Paths Proposed For This Move

ontology/foundation/      -> ontology/foundation/
ontology/vocabulary/      -> ontology/vocabulary/
ontology/quantification/  -> ontology/quantification/
ontology/party/           -> ontology/party/
ontology/eligibility/     -> ontology/eligibility/
ontology/behaviour/       -> ontology/behaviour/
ontology/instrument/      -> ontology/instrument/
ontology/surface/         -> ontology/surface/
ontology/applied/         -> ontology/applied/
ontology/governance/      -> ontology/governance/
ontology/examples/        -> ontology/examples/

Commands To Run

From the repository root:

mise run topology:ready
mise run topology:links

Pass Criteria

• topology:ready reports repository topology migration check passed.
• topology:links reports no broken local Markdown links.
• The status record contains any exceptions, their owner, and their resolution before the move begins.

Deliberate Non-Coverage

This gate does not validate Python, Maven, Yarn, Mix, Compose, or semantic behavior. Those checks run after the physical relocation in the relevant topology and ecosystem validation units.
