1. DOMAIN MODEL
flow CreativeMediaDomainOntology v1.0 {
  domain: CreativeMedia
  purpose: "Represent creative media works, production workflows, distribution, audience interaction and rights as typed semantic relationships."
  scope: [digital_media, multimedia, interactive_media, animation, audio, video, publishing, immersive_media]
}

2. TYPED ENTITIES
entity CreativeWork { id: URI; title: String; medium: MediaType; language: LanguageCode?; creation_date: Date?; status: WorkStatus; }
entity MediaAsset { id: URI; work_id: URI; format: MIMEType; duration_seconds: Decimal?; resolution: String?; checksum: String?; }
entity Creator { id: URI; display_name: String; role: CreatorRole; }
entity Production { id: URI; phase: ProductionPhase; start_date: Date?; end_date: Date?; }
entity Platform { id: URI; name: String; delivery_mode: DeliveryMode; }
entity Audience { id: URI; segment: String?; accessibility_needs: String[]?; }
entity Licence { id: URI; licence_type: String; permissions: String[]; restrictions: String[]; }
entity Distribution { id: URI; channel_id: URI; release_date: Date?; territory: String?; }
entity Interaction { id: URI; interaction_type: String; timestamp: DateTime; }
entity AccessibilityFeature { id: URI; feature_type: String; language: LanguageCode?; }
entity Claim { id: URI; statement: String; evidence: URI[]; confidence: Decimal; }

enum MediaType = [text, image, audio, video, animation, interactive, immersive, mixed]
enum ProductionPhase = [concept, planning, capture, editing, review, publication, archival]
enum WorkStatus = [draft, in_production, published, archived]

3. RELATIONSHIPS
relationship CREATED_BY(CreativeWork -> Creator)
relationship CONTAINS_ASSET(CreativeWork -> MediaAsset)
relationship PRODUCED_DURING(CreativeWork -> Production)
relationship DISTRIBUTED_VIA(CreativeWork -> Platform)
relationship TARGETS_AUDIENCE(CreativeWork -> Audience)
relationship GOVERNED_BY_LICENCE(CreativeWork -> Licence)
relationship RELEASED_AS(CreativeWork -> Distribution)
relationship ENABLES_INTERACTION(CreativeWork -> Interaction)
relationship SUPPORTS_ACCESSIBILITY(CreativeWork -> AccessibilityFeature)
relationship DERIVED_FROM(CreativeWork -> CreativeWork)
relationship SEMANTICALLY_RELATED_TO(CreativeWork -> CreativeWork)

4. INVARIANTS AND VALIDATION
rule WorkIdentity: CreativeWork.id is unique and resolvable.
rule AssetIntegrity: MediaAsset.checksum, when supplied, must match stored asset bytes.
rule PermissionCheck: distribution is permitted only if relevant licence permissions and territory allow it.
rule ProvenanceCheck: a derivative work must reference its source and transformation provenance.
rule AccessibilityCheck: assess captions, transcripts, alt text and navigation against the applicable medium and requirements; do not assume compliance.
rule EvidenceCheck: factual claims require evidence and a confidence assessment.

5. INFERENCE RULES
infer CreatorAttribution(work, creator) when CREATED_BY(work, creator) and attribution evidence is valid.
infer MultiModalWork(work) when count(distinct MediaAsset.format categories for work) >= 2.
infer PotentialRightsConflict(work, distribution) when restrictions conflict with channel, territory or intended use.
infer AccessibilityGap(work, feature) when feature is required by an applicable standard and not present or not verified.
infer DerivativeLineage(child, ancestor) when DERIVED_FROM(child, parent) and (parent == ancestor or DerivativeLineage(parent, ancestor)); prevent cycles.

6. CONFIDENCE
CONFIDENCE:
  range: [0.0, 1.0]
  interpretation: epistemic support for a claim, not creative quality or popularity
  inputs: [source_reliability, corroboration, recency, directness, uncertainty]
  unknown: null
  rule: do not fabricate numerical confidence; preserve uncertainty and evidence provenance

7. SEMANTIC_EQUIVALENCE
SEMANTIC_EQUIVALENCE:
  exact: same persistent entity identity or verified equivalent representation
  contextual: same meaning only within declared medium, language, context and intended use
  related: similarity does not establish identity
  guard: adaptations, remixes, translations and versions are not automatically identical works

8. PROVENANCE
PROVENANCE:
  record: [source_uri, creator_or_custodian, collected_at, licence, transformation, version, evidence_uri]
  chain: source -> extraction -> normalisation -> mapping -> inference -> output
  policy: retain attribution, traceability and correction history

9. FLOW_HASH
FLOW_HASH:
  method: SHA-256
  canonicalisation: UTF-8, normalised field order, stable entity identifiers
  input: canonicalised ontology content excluding mutable hash field
  output: hexadecimal digest calculated at implementation time
  status: not computed in this draft

10. UPDATE_MODEL
UPDATE_MODEL:
  strategy: versioned incremental updates
  triggers: [new_evidence, corrected_attribution, changed_licence, asset_revision, schema_change]
  actions: [validate, preserve_prior_version, update_dependencies, recalculate_hash, publish_change_log]
  conflict_resolution: source authority + evidence + timestamp; unresolved conflicts remain explicit

11. AI_CONSUMPTION
AI_CONSUMPTION:
  representation: typed entity graph with declared relations and constraints
  supported_tasks: [semantic_search, classification, retrieval, rights_checks, attribution, provenance_tracing, accessibility_auditing]
  output_fields: [entity_id, entity_type, relationship, evidence, confidence, provenance, version]
  safeguards: [avoid_unverified_claims, respect_licences, distinguish_fact_from_interpretation, protect_personal_data]

12. EXECUTION PIPELINE
pipeline CreativeMediaFlow:
  ingest -> validate_schema -> normalise_entities -> resolve_identity ->
  map_relationships -> check_rights_and_accessibility -> infer_with_evidence ->
  attach_confidence_and_provenance -> version -> compute_flow_hash -> export
