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