Classification Logic

The primary classification identifies the subject or archival function of an item. It does not establish its truth, importance, credibility, or causal explanation.

Zero designates a hub document or artifact. For example: HS-0 designates the Hunter Storm Official Site home page.

Artifacts may carry more than one classification when doing so improves retrieval and provenance.

 

For example:

 

HS-400 + HS-800
A primary-source article concerning post-quantum cryptography (PQC).

 

HS-300 + HS-800
A preserved human-AI interaction.

 

HS-500 + HS-400 + HS-800
An SDSUG primary-source research report concerning PQC.

 

HS-400 + HS-900
An external citation of Hunter Storm’s PQC research.

 

Artifact Identifier Format

The sequence component is a fixed-width six-digit identifier, beginning at 000001. The fixed width preserves consistent sorting and provides capacity for up to 999,999 sequential artifacts within the numbering namespace. Five leading zeros are therefore intentional for the first artifact.

Individual records may use:

HS-[classification]-[sequence]

Examples:

  • HS-400-000001
  • HS-666-000001
  • HS-800-000014
  • HS-900-000007

 

The identifier should remain stable even when the associated artifact is revised, corrected, relocated, or superseded.

 

HSCS Key and Abbreviation Registry

This registry defines the standardized abbreviations used with the Hunter Storm Classification System (HSCS) to identify document and artifact types. Abbreviations describe the type or form of an object and are distinct from the object’s subject matter, property, provenance, or broader classification.

  • ART: Article
  • BRF: Briefing
  • DCT: Doctrine
  • FRM: Framework
  • GOV: Governance
  • IND: Index
  • LEG: Legal
  • MED: Media
  • MKT: Marketing
  • POL: Policy
  • PRN: Principles
  • PUB: Publication
  • RPT: Report
  • STA: Site Structural Artifact
  • STD: Standards
  • STM: Statement
  • STO: Store

 

Important Distinction

Classification answers “Where does this belong?”

Evidence status answers “What does the record establish?”

Provenance answers “Where did this come from?”

 

Classification Numbering System

The Hunter Storm Classification Numbering System (HSCNS) provides consistent identifiers for artifacts within the Hunter Storm ecosystem. The numbering system supports clear reference, organization, and retrieval across properties and publication types.

Definitions

The following definitions establish the meaning of artifact types within the Hunter Storm corpus. These definitions are specific to the Hunter Storm information environment and are intended to support consistent classification, identification, retrieval, and archival management.

 

Article (ART)

A substantive written work addressing a defined subject, issue, observation, analysis, argument, or finding. Within this corpus, an Article is a form of written publication.

 

Briefing (BRF)

A concise information product intended to communicate relevant facts, findings, developments, risks, or considerations to a defined audience for awareness or decision-making. A briefing prioritizes situational clarity over comprehensive treatment.

 

Doctrine (DCT)

A formal statement of established principles, methods, positions, or operational concepts intended to guide institutional or professional practice. Doctrine establishes how a body of work understands or approaches a subject.

 

Framework (FRM)

A structured model defining the components, relationships, principles, or processes used to organize, analyze, govern, or implement a subject or body of work. A framework provides architecture rather than merely describing an individual issue.

 

Governance (GOV)

An artifact that establishes, documents, or governs rules, authorities, responsibilities, controls, decision processes, or institutional operating requirements.

 

Index (IND)

A structured navigational or retrieval artifact that identifies and organizes other records, pages, resources, or components of the corpus. An Index provides a map to information rather than serving primarily as the information itself.

 

Legal (LEG)

An artifact whose primary function is legal documentation, legal analysis, legal notice, legal interpretation, legal rights or obligations, or formal legal positioning.

 

Marketing (MKT)

An artifact whose primary purpose is promotion, audience development, commercial communication, affiliate activity, product or service presentation, or other outward-facing promotional activity.

 

Media (MED)

A non-textual or primarily media-based artifact, including audio, video, photography, visual works, recordings, or other audiovisual material. A written publication documenting or analyzing media may instead be classified as a Publication or Article.

 

Policy (POL)

A formal rule, requirement, or institutional position establishing what is permitted, required, prohibited, or expected within a defined scope.

 

Principles (PRN)

An artifact establishing foundational concepts, values, or guiding principles intended to inform decisions or practices without functioning primarily as an operational rule, policy, or framework.

 

Publication (PUB)

A formally released written work intended for public or defined-audience distribution. Publication is the principal written-publication category and may include subtypes such as Article, Book, Blog, Memoir, History, Chronology, or other defined forms.

 

Report (RPT)

A structured presentation of research, findings, observations, analysis, status, results, or other documented information. A Report generally records or communicates a body of work rather than establishing a governing framework or policy.

 

Site Structural Artifact (STA)

A structural component of the digital information environment whose primary purpose is navigation, orientation, organization, routing, or structural continuity. Examples include hubs, orientation pages, persona hubs, and other pages that help users understand or move through the site.

 

Standards (STD)

An artifact establishing defined requirements, specifications, conventions, criteria, or measurable expectations intended to promote consistency or interoperability.

 

Statement (STM)

A formal declaration of position, intent, responsibility, commitment, interpretation, or organizational stance. A Statement communicates an explicit position without necessarily establishing the broader rules of a Policy or the architecture of a Framework.

 

Store (STO)

An artifact whose primary function is the presentation, organization, or transaction of products, merchandise, or other commercially offered goods or services within the Hunter Storm environment.
