Categories.
Every page gets labels so you can find it again. Content type says what kind of page it is — an overview, a playbook, a proposal. Entity type says which thing the page is the main record of — a partner, a funder, a program. Relation types connect one page to another, like "this program is funded by this funder."
These descriptions are not only for people to read. The AI that files new sources reads them too, so the words you write here are what tell it which pages belong in a category.
Content types
What kind of page it is. Every page gets exactly one, and it decides where the page shows up when you browse. They come in four families — pick the family first, then the type inside it.
Records
Who or what we deal with. The page is the standing record of a thing.
Nothing filed here yet.
Evidence
What happened and what resulted. Dated, and true of a moment rather than forever.
Nothing filed here yet.
Doctrine
How we work and what we mean. Our own rules, methods, language, and choices.
Nothing filed here yet.
Navigation
Where to start and where things live. The page mostly points at other things.
Nothing filed here yet.
Entity types
Which thing the page is the main record of. Optional, and only on the main page for that thing — that is what lets you pull up every partner at once.
No entity types are declared yet.
Relation types
Links that say how two pages are connected — not just "see also," but "funded by" or "led by." They let you ask questions that follow the links, like which funders back work in a country.
No relation types are declared yet.
Undeclared types in use
These appear on pages but aren't declared categories. Home still lists them under a humanized name of their own; only pages with no type group under “Other”. The AI is never told they exist until they're adopted. Adopt the ones that are real; fix the pages behind the ones that aren't.
