Changelog — Contextual Grounding

Version 1.0

Published: 2026-08-28

• Initial structural baseline publication.
• Definition of contextual grounding established as interpretation of an expression, claim, representation, or output with reference to contextual information relevant to the represented situation.
• Scope boundaries formalized (included / excluded).
• Structural model introduced (context source → contextual relevance → grounding relation → grounded interpretation).
• Structural components introduced (context source, contextual relevance, grounding relation, grounded interpretation).
• Foundational grounding, semantic-grounding, contextual-language, and context-grounded-generation sources documented.
• Distinction between contextual grounding, context availability, factual correctness, and implementation-specific retrieval architectures documented.
• Source architecture standardized to Author(s) → Work → Year → Reference format.
• Mandatory legal, privacy, terms, and license pages implemented.
• 2026-09-27 — Removed the email property from Organization JSON-LD across the published site to align the implementation with the established portfolio governance baseline. Frontend contact information remains unchanged. No change to the domain’s semantic definition, scope, structural model, or existing JSON-LD architecture.
• 2026-09-27 — Corrected the Version 1.0 changelog description of the source architecture from “Institution → Work → Year → Reference” to “Author(s) → Work → Year → Reference” to align with the published Sources structure. No change to the source selection, source architecture, semantic definition, scope, or structural model.

Status: Frozen Baseline

Change Policy

Changes are introduced only when:

• The definitional boundary materially evolves.
• A structural clarification alters conceptual framing.
• Primary institutional reference frameworks materially change.
• A compliance-relevant correction is required for accuracy.

Editorial refinements that do not affect structural meaning do not trigger version increments.

Versioning Logic

• Major increment — Definitional or structural shift.
• Minor increment — Material clarification without conceptual shift.
• No increment — Editorial refinement only.
