영어 원문: How records are connected

영어 원문: What CityScroll means when it links two records, how to inspect that claim, and why some obvious relationships stay unlinked.

영어 원문: Last reviewed 2026-09-06

영어 원문: What a connection claims

영어 원문: 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.

영어 원문: 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.

영어 원문: How the identification was made

영어 원문: Open 이 연결이 생성된 방법 on a connected record and you get the basis rather than a score. The labels distinguish three kinds of evidence.

영어 원문: Basis영어 원문: What it means영어 원문: How much weight it carries
공개된 기록으로 일치 확인영어 원문: The two records carry the same identifier the publisher issued — a procurement identifier, an agency code, a project number영어 원문: The strongest kind. The city's own key did the joining
기록 연결을 통한 일치영어 원문: The records were matched on their content, such as an organization's name, rather than on a shared identifier영어 원문: Weaker. Names are written inconsistently, and different organizations share names
사람이 확인함영어 원문: Someone reviewed the pair and accepted it영어 원문: As good as the review, which is why it is labelled rather than hidden

영어 원문: 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.

영어 원문: The connection has an address

영어 원문: 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.

영어 원문: Why an obvious relationship can be missing

영어 원문: A connection that plainly exists in the world can still be absent here, and none of these reasons means the relationship is not real.

영어 원문: What a connection is not

영어 원문: 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.
