Change log 7
2026-11-13Added specialty tags: gastroenterology(inferred).
2026-11-13Removed the stored size-tier tag; the tier is now computed from the size field when pages are built.
2026-11-13Added dataset-level tags: 4 (1 stated by the authors with excerpts, 3 inferred from the content). No conclusion changed.
2026-11-12Recorded the code repository license separately; it is not treated as a data license statement.
2026-11-12Added verbatim license excerpts and snapshot ids from captured page snapshots; no conclusion changed.
2026-11-12License status split into license_status (what the license says) and hosting (what Mdexa does); the earlier conclusion is kept for traceability.
2026-11-12Card converted from an earlier manual catalog; no new facts added; reclassified under taxonomy v2.
