# CommerceCanon Core
|
||
|
||
CommerceCanon owns counterparty and commercial-relationship semantics. It is
|
||
an independently maintained domain canon governed by Custodian canon and the
|
||
accepted CUST-ADR-006 ownership resolutions. This draft kernel establishes the
|
||
repository boundary; the [counterparty model](../models/counterparty/CommerceCanonCounterpartyModel.md)
|
||
is now registered separately as draft 0.1.0.
|
||
|
||
## Authority and migration
|
||
|
||
The [federation ledger](../../../prj-canon-federation/ledger/README.md) assigns
|
||
one owner per concept and pins the original identity-canon glossary. The old
|
||
[glossary](../../canon/CanonicalGlossary.md) and
|
||
[principles](../../canon/DesignPrinciples.md) remain migration inputs, not an
|
||
alternative registry of CommerceCanon-owned definitions. The
|
||
[registry](../../canon.yaml) lists only artifacts present here; it registers the draft counterparty model; standards remain unregistered.
|
||
|
||
## Ownership boundary
|
||
|
||
| Concept or concept family | Owning model | CommerceCanon treatment |
|
||
| --- | --- | --- |
|
||
| Actor, Person, Agent, Organization, Group, Role, Membership, Ownership | itc-org | Import; commercial roles do not replace actor or ownership semantics. |
|
||
| Subject, Principal, Relationship Tuple | itc-access | Import; commercial binding does not grant authorization. |
|
||
| Obligation, Decision, AssuranceCase, AssuranceConclusion, Audit | itc-gov | Import; a commercial commitment may relate to obligations without redefining them. |
|
||
| Identifier, Account, Scope, Assurance Level and ledger-assigned identity concepts | itc-ident (draft 0.1.0) | Import; identifier specializations retain upstream identity semantics. |
|
||
| Evidence, Evidence Source, Adjudication Outcome, general evidence strength | itc-evid (draft 0.1.0) | Import assertions and their addressable sources as distinct concepts. |
|
||
| Community, Household | itc-org social extension (draft 0.1.0) | Available boundary references; not added to Counterparty’s 25 declared imports. |
|
||
| Family | Separate InfoTechCanon concept-area seed (seeded, not authored) | Reference only; not a CommerceCanon collective-actor definition. |
|
||
|
||
Existing upstream models are [organization](../../../info-tech-canon/infospace/models/organization/InfoTechCanonOrganizationModel.md),
|
||
[access control](../../../info-tech-canon/infospace/models/access-control/InfoTechCanonAccessControlModel.md),
|
||
and [governance](../../../info-tech-canon/infospace/models/governance/InfoTechCanonGovernanceModel.md).
|
||
T11 transferred Evidence ownership to ITC-EVID; governance now imports it.
|
||
T05 consolidated Delegation into identity under accepted ownership, with
|
||
Organization retaining an import. Counterparty's import manifest pins the
|
||
reviewed identity, evidence, organization and governance sources.
|
||
|
||
There is no single imported concept called “Assurance” covering all uses.
|
||
Identity Assurance Level is distinct from governance AssuranceCase and
|
||
AssuranceConclusion. The Counterparty Assurance Gradient is CommerceCanon's
|
||
named application of general evidence strength, not ownership of that dimension.
|
||
|
||
## Commerce model boundary
|
||
|
||
The counterparty model defines the ledger's commerce assignments: legal entities and persons,
|
||
beneficial ownership relationships and exemptions, customer and vendor roles,
|
||
commercial relationships and commitments, payment references and mandates,
|
||
pipeline pursuits, commercial records, counterparty assurance, reputation and
|
||
performance assertions, and registry/proxy commercial identifiers. The
|
||
model supplies the definitions; this kernel retains the ownership boundary.
|
||
|
||
Registry Identifier and Proxy Commercial Identifier specialize imported
|
||
Identifier. Reputation Signal, Performance Evidence, and Beneficial Ownership
|
||
Exemption must distinguish evidence assertions from their sources. Adjudication
|
||
Outcome remains imported from itc-evid. The model carries P14 (separate commercial records
|
||
from accounts) and P15 (model commercial binding explicitly).
|
||
|
||
## Contribution and acceptance
|
||
|
||
New content starts with a named consumer's signal in [demand](../../demand/).
|
||
Implementation belongs in repository workplans. A model must declare its owned
|
||
concepts, explicit imports, provenance, and examples before registry publication.
|
||
Validate assignments against the federation ledger and review for duplicate
|
||
ownership. Historical source material is preserved in the [T07 provenance workspace](../assimilation/canon-federation/README.md).
|
||
|
||
[Repository layout](../../docs/RepositoryLayout.md) explains content placement.
|
||
The [federation interface card](../interfaces/federation.yaml) declares imports,
|
||
exports and reciprocal canon references. The [upstream review](../models/counterparty/import-review-2026-09-06.md)
|
||
records the T12/T13 source review while preserving the previous import manifest.
|
||
Runtime services, a CLI, and production APIs are outside this foundation scope.
