APPENDIX C
Open Questions and Boundary Cases Register
DAP #0A — Physical Cultural Objects and Cultural Digital Assets
C.1 Purpose of the Register
The Open Questions and Boundary Cases Register preserves the unresolved issues identified during DAP #0A and prevents them from being absorbed prematurely into normative assumptions.
Paper #8 establishes a substantial physical–digital cultural architecture, but it does not claim complete resolution of every cultural-object case.
This Register therefore records:
- unresolved theoretical questions;
- Protocol-critical uncertainties;
- implementation questions;
- scope limitations;
- future Boundary DAP candidates.

Possible Protocol Resolution
An Open Question is not a failed finding.
It identifies a boundary at which DAP #0A does not yet possess sufficient grounds for a final conclusion.
Accordingly:
Unresolved
≠
Rejected
Out of Scope
≠
Culturally Insignificant
Not Yet Standardized
≠
Not Qualifiable
This distinction is essential for CDA Protocol development.
C.2 Register Fields
Each Open Question is recorded through the following structure:
OQ ID
Research Family
Open Question
Affected Architecture
Reason Unresolved
Preliminary v1.0 Criticality
Recommended Treatment
Future DAP Candidate
The preliminary criticality categories are:
BLOCKING
Likely requires resolution before CDA Protocol v1.0 can operate coherently in its intended Core scope.
NON-BLOCKING
May remain explicitly unresolved or out of scope without preventing CDA Protocol v1.0 publication.
EXTENSION
Likely belongs to a later domain-specific Protocol profile or extension.
BOUNDARY RESEARCH
Requires dedicated DAP investigation because the case may materially challenge current ontology, authority, qualification, governance, or continuity assumptions.
The classifications below remain provisional until Comparative DAP Analysis.
RESEARCH FAMILY A
PCO Qualification Threshold and Decision Architecture
OQ-001 — What Constitutes Sufficient Evidence for PCO Qualification?
Open Question
What constitutes a sufficient structured evidentiary basis for moving an object from:
PCO Candidate
↓
PCO
without reducing qualification to arbitrary expert opinion or numerical voting?
Affected Architecture
- PCO Qualification;
- Evidence;
- Qualification Authority;
- Conformity.
DAP #0A establishes the required components of qualification but deliberately rejects a simplistic universal threshold such as:
1 museum
+
2 researchers
+
3 publications
No final sufficiency model has yet been validated.
Preliminary v1.0 Criticality: BLOCKING
Recommended Treatment
Resolve during Comparative DAP Analysis and AFF development.
Future DAP Candidate: No separate DAP currently required.
OQ-002 — Should Independent Recognition Be Mandatory?
Open Question
Must an active PCO qualification include at least one independent Recognition source outside:
- the artist;
- owner;
- gallery;
- estate;
- financially interested entity?
Recognition / Qualification / Conflict of Interest.
Reason Unresolved
DAP #0A confirms that interested-party evidence may be legitimate but does not determine whether independent recognition should be mandatory for all, some, or no qualification scopes.
Preliminary v1.0 Criticality: BLOCKING
Recommended Treatment
Compare alternative models:
Model A
Independent Recognition always required
Model B
Independent Recognition required
for defined qualification scopes
Model C
Creator-led qualification permitted
with explicit independence disclosure
Future DAP Candidate: Possibly methodological pilot rather than full DAP.
OQ-003 — Can PCO Qualification Be Self-Initiated and Self-Completed by an Artist?
Open Question
Can the artist be:
Qualification Initiator
+
Evidence Provider
+
Qualification Authority
for the same object?
Affected Architecture
Qualification Authority / Conflict of Interest / Recognition.
Reason Unresolved
Artist authority is legitimate in authorial matters, but the degree to which it can extend to final formal PCO qualification remains unresolved.
Preliminary v1.0 Criticality: BLOCKING
Recommended Treatment
Determine whether roles may coexist under disclosed conditions or must be separated.
OQ-004 — Should Qualification Threshold Vary by Recognition Scope?
Open Question
Should PCO qualification for:
- community;
- local;
- institutional;
- national;
- international;
Affected Architecture
Qualification / Recognition Scope.
Reason Unresolved
DAP #0A establishes that scope is not rank, but scope may still affect evidentiary requirements.
Preliminary v1.0 Criticality: BLOCKING
Recommended Treatment
Investigate scope-sensitive rather than prestige-sensitive qualification models.
OQ-005 — Can Cultural Significance in One Strong Domain Be Sufficient?
Open Question
Can an object qualify as PCO where:
Community Significance:
Very Strong
Museum Recognition:
None
Market Recognition:
None
or equivalent asymmetrical configurations?
Affected Architecture
Cultural Significance / Qualification.
Reason Unresolved
The study rejects weighted universal scoring but does not establish operational sufficiency across heterogeneous significance domains.
Preliminary v1.0 Criticality: BLOCKING
OQ-006 — Should PCO Qualification Require a Minimum Number of Significance Domains?
Open Question
Must qualification involve multiple Cultural Significance domains, or can one strongly evidenced domain suffice?
Affected Architecture
PCO Qualification / Cultural Significance.
Reason Unresolved
DAP #0A establishes multidimensionality but not mandatory dimensional breadth.
Preliminary v1.0 Criticality: BLOCKING
