Follow-up — EU recitals

Follow-up of the recitals, step by step. Every step has a control point, every claim an article, and the chain carries hashes so the work can be shown afterwards.

Step by step

  • 1. Compare the hash of every node you relied on against the register today. Can be shown: the list, with date and owner.
  • 2. Read the change journal for the period since the last check. Can be shown: the role choice with one sentence on why.
  • 3. Take up the rows where hash or reading date changed. Can be shown: the article rows with address, hash and reading date.
  • 4. Check whether any timeline has passed since last time. Can be shown: the gaps and what was decided about them.
  • 5. Set the next check date and note who owns it. Can be shown: the next check date and who owns it.

What forces a redo

  • The node hash changes — the text behind the row is no longer the same.
  • The reading date moves forward — the row has been re-read against the source.
  • A timeline passes — the requirement starts to apply or tightens.

As data

  • The same node as data: add ?format=json to the address, or ?format=agent for receipt and dependencies.
