SOURCE METHODOLOGY

Separate context.
Evidence. Rights.

SemiAgora uses outside sources for context and citation, but public claims must say whether they come from primary references, executed evidence, link-only resources, or feed metadata.

SOURCE LANES

Every public claim needs a lane.

This methodology connects the resource atlas, labs, newsletter, and corrections route. Inspect citation completeness, freshness, and claim-edge states ->

LaneWhat belongs hereAllowed useRoute
Primary source

Papers, standards, official documentation, PDK docs, tool manuals, and rights-holder pages.

Use for claims, definitions, conditions, and legal access decisions.

Open ->
Executed evidence

SemiAgora-generated netlists, scripts, datasets, figures, logs, checksums, and validators.

Use for claims that SemiAgora says it reproduced or simulated.

Open ->
External resource

Courses, portals, labs, practice sites, workforce pages, and benchmark service pages.

Use as link-only context, not copied content.

Open ->
Briefing metadata

Official RSS/API feed titles, dates, source names, original URLs, and short summaries.

Use for current signals while avoiding article-body copying.

RIGHTS BOUNDARY

Reachable is not reusable.

A PDF, article, figure, table, report, or repository being public on the web does not automatically permit copying into SemiAgora. Link first, summarize originally, and preserve the source owner's control.
