النص الإنجليزي: Understand · النص الإنجليزي: Explanation
النص الإنجليزي: How records are connected
النص الإنجليزي: What CityScroll means when it links two records, how to inspect that claim, and why some obvious relationships stay unlinked.
النص الإنجليزي: What a connection claims
النص الإنجليزي: CityScroll connects records the city publishes separately — a notice to the agency that issued it, an agency to a vendor it awarded work to, a rule to the duty behind it. Every one of those connections is a claim, and every claim has a basis you can read.
النص الإنجليزي: The claim is always narrow. It says these two published records refer to the same thing, and here is what made that identification. It never says one record caused the other, and it never says anyone did anything wrong.
النص الإنجليزي: How the identification was made
النص الإنجليزي: Open كيف أُنشئ هذا الارتباط on a connected record and you get the basis rather than a score. The labels distinguish three kinds of evidence.
| النص الإنجليزي: Basis | النص الإنجليزي: What it means | النص الإنجليزي: How much weight it carries |
|---|---|---|
| مطابقة استنادًا إلى سجل منشور | النص الإنجليزي: The two records carry the same identifier the publisher issued — a procurement identifier, an agency code, a project number | النص الإنجليزي: The strongest kind. The city's own key did the joining |
| مطابقة بربط السجلات | النص الإنجليزي: The records were matched on their content, such as an organization's name, rather than on a shared identifier | النص الإنجليزي: Weaker. Names are written inconsistently, and different organizations share names |
| مقبول بعد مراجعة بشرية | النص الإنجليزي: Someone reviewed the pair and accepted it | النص الإنجليزي: As good as the review, which is why it is labelled rather than hidden |
النص الإنجليزي: The same panel names the relation itself — "issued rule", for instance — and links the official source the records came from. If a connection matters to you, that link is the thing to open.
النص الإنجليزي: The connection has an address
النص الإنجليزي: A connection you have opened stays in the address of the page. Copy the address and you can send someone the record with that specific claim already inspected, rather than telling them where to click. It is the same habit as keeping the address of a search: the link carries the state.
النص الإنجليزي: Why an obvious relationship can be missing
النص الإنجليزي: A connection that plainly exists in the world can still be absent here, and none of these reasons means the relationship is not real.
- النص الإنجليزي: No shared identifier was published. Two records can describe the same contract without either one carrying a key the other has. There is then nothing exact to join on.
- النص الإنجليزي: The name is written differently. A vendor filed as one spelling on a notice and another on a payment record may not resolve to one organization.
- النص الإنجليزي: The city has not published the joining record. Some links exist only inside an agency's own systems, or are released in a form that cannot be joined.
- النص الإنجليزي: The match was not good enough to show. A connection that could not be classified is left off the page rather than shown wrapped in hedges. An absent connection is not a denial that the relationship exists.
النص الإنجليزي: What a connection is not
النص الإنجليزي: A connection is not a finding. Two records being linked is not evidence that money moved improperly, that an official acted wrongly, or that a decision was made because of the other record. A named awardee on a contract does not mean that vendor is currently open to subcontractors, and a vendor appearing beside an agency repeatedly is a count, not a conclusion.
