Status: Companion formalisation of the category index, not a verbatim transcription of linked specifications.

PURPOSE
Represent datasets, samples, labels and ground truth as typed entities and enforce provenance, split isolation, validation and reproducible training-data transformations.

STATE MODEL
S_t = (I_t, R, B, K)
I_t = active dataset inventory, samples, labels, metadata and split assignments
R = typed relations and admissible transformation rules
B = boundaries: privacy, licence, leakage, schema, quality and resource limits
K = evidence, provenance, version identifiers and confidence annotations
E_t = expand(I_t, R)
V_t = {x in E_t | satisfies(x, B) and verified(x, K)}
a_t = argmax_{x in V_t} P(x | I_t, R, B, K)
I_{t+1} = update(I_t, a_t)
If V_t is empty: abstain, flag unresolved constraints, do not fabricate data.

ONTOLOGY ENTITIES — 25 INDEXED TOPICS

06 BenchmarkDataset: versioned standardised evaluation collection
07 InstructionDataset: instruction-response or instruction-target pairs
08 PreferenceDataset: comparative or ranked preference judgements
09 DemonstrationDataset: worked examples or expert trajectories
10 SyntheticDataset: generated examples with generator provenance
11 CuratedDataset: selected, cleaned and documented collection

17 AudioDataset: audio signals and transcripts/labels if present
18 VideoDataset: frame sequences, timecodes and metadata
19 CodeDataset: code artefacts, language and licence metadata
20 ScientificDataset: measurements, methods, units and uncertainty
21 TrainingExample: unit consumed by a learning procedure
22 DataSample: individual observation or input instance
23 DataLabel: annotation attached to a sample and task

FORMAL OPERATIONS
D = {s_1, ..., s_N}
Split(D) = (D_train, D_val, D_test)
D_train ∩ D_val = D_train ∩ D_test = D_val ∩ D_test = ∅
Note: sample-disjoint splits alone do not prevent semantic, subject or temporal leakage.

L_train(theta) = (1 / |D_train|) * sum_{(x,y) in D_train} loss(f_theta(x), y)
theta_{t+1} = Optimiser(theta_t, grad_theta L_train, state_t)
ValidationScore = metric(f_theta, D_val)
TestScore = metric(f_theta_selected, D_test)

For unlabelled training, replace y with a declared self-supervised objective.
For preference datasets, define pair (x, y_preferred, y_other) and a task-specific ranking loss.
For scientific datasets, preserve units, calibration, measurement uncertainty and provenance.

TRANSFORMATION PATHWAYS
Acquire -> RegisterProvenance -> ValidateLicence -> Parse -> ValidateSchema
-> Deduplicate -> CheckLeakage -> Partition -> TransformTrainOnly
-> Version -> Train -> Validate -> FreezeSelection -> Test -> Report

RULES
R01: Every sample must have a stable identifier within its dataset version.
R02: Every derived sample must retain lineage to source inputs and transformations.
R03: Training-only fitted transforms must not be fitted on validation/test data.
R04: Hold-out evaluation must not guide repeated unreported model selection.
R05: Ground truth may be uncertain, contested or revised; record its evidence.
R06: Generated data must be distinguished from observed data.
R07: Labels must include task, schema, annotation method and quality metadata where available.
R08: Detect exact and near-duplicate contamination across partitions.
R09: Respect licence, consent, privacy and access restrictions.
R10: Record class balance, missingness, coverage and known dataset limitations.
R11: Never infer that a benchmark score establishes general capability beyond its protocol.
R12: Record seeds, versions and preprocessing settings for reproducibility.

MINI RECURSION ENGINE
state := initialise(dataset_manifest, constraints, evidence)
repeat until stable or max_iterations:
  candidates := expand(state.inventory, state.relations)
  valid := filter(candidates, constraints, provenance_checks)
  if empty(valid): emit_unresolved(); stop
  action := select(valid, evidence, quality_objectives)
  state := apply_and_audit(state, action)
return state, audit_trail, unresolved_items

TRI-MAPPING
Conceptual: dataset -> example -> sample -> label -> reference evidence
Mathematical: D -> (x,y) -> loss -> gradient -> evaluation metric
Operational: register -> validate -> split -> transform -> train -> evaluate

EXECUTION CONSTRAINTS
- Never claim leakage-free data without the relevant checks.
- Never substitute synthetic targets for verified ground truth silently.
- Enforce typed schemas, bounded resources and explicit failure states.
- Preserve the difference between training, validation and test roles.
- Record all changes to labels, partitions and dataset versions.
- No universal accuracy, safety or convergence guarantee is implied.

AI SEARCH FLOW
QUERY: identify dataset role, modality, annotation status and provenance
MATCH: resolve ontology type and relation edges
EXPAND: traverse supported relationships and task requirements
FILTER: enforce licence, split, schema, privacy and evidence boundaries
RANK: prefer documented, reproducible, fit-for-purpose candidates
RETURN: entities, relations, uncertainty, citations and audit trail
ABSTAIN: if no candidate satisfies the boundaries
