Visual Maps 01–04

Map 1 — Content Control Loop

Rebuild:
CAPTURE → TAG / METADATA → STORE → CONTROL / VERSION → RETAIN or DISPOSE → SEARCH / RETRIEVE → PUBLISH / DELIVER → AUDIT / IMPROVE

Interpretation: Chapter 9 is a lifecycle, not a repository purchase. Metadata near intake enables later classification, retention, retrieval and audit.

Map 2 — Information Object Ladder

Rebuild:
CONTENT (information) → DOCUMENT (container/object) → RECORD (evidence + formal integrity/retention/disposition)

Check: not every document is a record. Record status comes from evidentiary/lifecycle significance, not file format.

Map 3 — GARP Compass

Rebuild:
ACCOUNTABILITY | INTEGRITY | PROTECTION | COMPLIANCE | AVAILABILITY | RETENTION | DISPOSITION | TRANSPARENCY

Failure cues: nobody responsible → Accountability; authenticity weak → Integrity; cannot retrieve → Availability; unclear keep period → Retention; unauthorized end-of-life action → Disposition.

Map 4 — Vocabulary Complexity / Relationship Map

Rebuild:
TERM/PICK LIST → SYNONYM / AUTHORITY → TAXONOMY → THESAURUS → ONTOLOGY

Check: do not treat this as “just increasing complexity.” Identify what relationships must be represented.
