Visual representations

A visual manifestation may evolve without changing the canonical identity it accompanies.

CANONICALNORMATIVEv1.0.02026-08-16
ESSENTIAL

An image associated with an AES is a contingent visual representation, not its canonical appearance.

DETAILED

Each representation receives an identifier, version, lifecycle status, provenance and fingerprint. It may be replaced or withdrawn without changing the AES identity, address or canonical relations.

FORMAL

object_type=VISUAL_REPRESENTATION; canonical_identity_component=false. Associated interpretive texts carry their own INTERPRETATION status.
