Rings, from the middle out

The country sits in the middle. Around it: the ground and the places, then the organisations, then the instruments that govern them, then the events on the record. A record’s ring is decided by what kind of thing it is, so the reading is the same on every group.

Ground and places: Refinery / smelter (13), Jurisdiction / administrative area (1)
Organisations and people: Trader / exporter / intermediary (2)
Events and evidence: Regulatory action / enforcement (1)

A link whose validity window has closed is drawn dashed and stays on the map. An expired title or a former operator is a finding, not noise.

1Of these records, some reach this country through one further step rather than a relationship that names it directly. A placement read from the record is marked as read, never as stated.

Reaching in from outside

Drawn beyond the outer ring: cross-border bodies with a link into this group. They belong to no one country, so they sit outside every group and reach into several.
