Add demand and proposed workplan for Attribute Value Type catalog.
Consumer citation-evidence needs closed value types; ITC-DATA has Attribute and DataType stubs but no catalog. Track as ITC-WP-0013.

# Demand: Attribute Value Type Catalog
|
||||
|
||||
**Status:** inbound demand (un-reviewed)
|
||||
**Date:** 2026-07-30
|
||||
**Source:** citation-evidence Capture UX (consumer)
|
||||
**Related consumer draft:** `citation-evidence/wiki/AttributeValueTypes-proposal.md`
|
||||
**Proposed workplan:** ITC-WP-0013

## Demand signal
|
||||
|
||||
Consumer **citation-evidence** needs a **closed, versioned catalog of
|
||||
attribute value types** for evidence-backed structured capture (key / type /
|
||||
value), including:
|
||||
|
||||
- `time`, `datetime`
|
||||
- `amount` (quantity + currency)
|
||||
- `one-of` (single selection from a code list)
|
||||
- `some-of` (multi selection from a code list)
|
||||
|
||||
plus existing scalars `text`, long text, `date`.
|
||||
|
||||
The consumer must not invent a permanent private type system if InfoTechCanon
|
||||
is the semantic reference layer for info-tech domains.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Gap vs current canon
|
||||
|
||||
`InfoTechCanonDataModel` already defines:
|
||||
|
||||
- Attribute, Field, DataElement, Representation, DataType, CodeList, Constraint
|
||||
|
||||
But:
|
||||
|
||||
- **DataType** is only a one-line stub,
|
||||
- **Representation** lists open examples without a closed catalog,
|
||||
- there is **no** machine-readable AttributeValueType registry for application
|
||||
forms / capture UIs.
|
||||
|
||||
This demand is for a **canonical collection of value types** (and encoding
|
||||
rules), not for a new domain entity competing with Attribute/Field.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Proposed placement
|
||||
|
||||
**Preferred:** extension or section under **ITC-DATA** (Data Model):
|
||||
|
||||
- concept: `AttributeValueType` (or closed `Representation` profile for
|
||||
capture/forms)
|
||||
- artifact: markdown standard + YAML catalog under `infospace/`
|
||||
- relationships: AttributeValueType → CodeList (for one-of/some-of), → Constraint
|
||||
|
||||
**Avoid:** scattering type ids only inside citation-evidence.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Success criteria
|
||||
|
||||
1. Closed list of type ids with definitions and wire encodings.
|
||||
2. Clear mapping to Representation / CodeList / Constraint.
|
||||
3. Consumer citation-evidence can depend on the catalog (copy or generated
|
||||
constants) without forking names.
|
||||
4. Processed via Purpose/Demand if required by ITC-WP-0006 before kernel edit.

||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Non-goals
|
||||
|
||||
- Full statistical data type system.
|
||||
- UI widget standards (consumer concern).
|
||||
- Vendor form-builder schemas (SurveyJS, etc.) as canon.
