Change log 7
| 2026-11-13 | Added specialty tags: multi-specialty(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: 3 (2 stated by the authors with excerpts, 1 inferred from the content). No conclusion changed. | |
| 2026-11-12 | License status changed from restricted to unverifiable and hosting from link-only to pending: third-party mirror pages are secondhand; secondhand evidence alone cannot support restricted. | |
| 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. |
