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: Mine site / workings (10), Refinery / smelter (7), Jurisdiction / administrative area (1)
Organisations and people: Trader / exporter / intermediary (27), Regulator / public authority (1)
Instruments and frames: Initiative / programme (2), Register / cadastre (1)
Events and evidence: Incident (8)

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.

2Of 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.

Where this group’s links go

Relationships crossing out of this group, gathered by where they land.

Every record in this group

The nodes above, as a list. Each one opens the record’s own page, with its relationships and the source passage behind each of them.
