Pre-release. This site describes standard version 0.7.0-dev, which is in development and may change before version 1.0.0.
The record of one act about a site’s agreement, from the agreement-act scheme: the site, the act, when it was observed, the observer in a role, and its evidence: the document and signatory for a formal act, a note for an informal one. Never changed; a later act is a new record.

Rules
- A formal agreement act carries its document as an evidence item of the type the act requires, with its content address, the date signed and the signatory: one of the landowner, the site manager or the owner, as an agent in a role. A signed agreement is a photographed document, an on-screen signature or a recorded consent (ADR-0030).
- A signatory signs on behalf of the landowner, in the landowner role (ADR-0030).
- A verbal agreement names who agreed: the landowner, the site manager or the owner, as an agent in a role (ADR-0030).
- Every agreement act leads to a status by an allowed agreement transition from the status in force before it, unless a later correction restates it (ADR-0025). This one has no status assignment: the move is not allowed, or the agreement operation has not run (ADR-0019).
- Only a verbal agreement carries a verbal agreement recording, by ncgs:verbalAgreementRecording and of that type; it is never an act’s document (ADR-0030).
- Only a verbal agreement names who agreed and a witness; a signed act names its signatory on the document.
- This agreement act needs a note of what was seen or said.
- A record moves to another site only by a supervisor’s or an office analyst’s correction in one role, observed at one zoned time, to a registered site current when it moves, and with each thing its restatement group introduced before it withdrawn or replaced by the move or a correction before it (ADR-0027).
- A restatement is a record of the same type as the record it restates (ADR-0018).
- A restatement is about the same site as the record it restates, or follows in its restatement group, unless a supervisor’s or an office analyst’s correction moves it (ADR-0018, ADR-0027).
- A restatement is observed after the record it restates: it is the later observation that governs (ADR-0018).
- A restatement says why the fact is restated, in a sentence or more (ADR-0018).
- A site registration never moves: its correction registers the site its original registered, and a site registered in error is replaced (ADR-0027).
Agreement status assignment
One result of the agreement operation: the status a site’s agreement took from an act, the time from which it holds (the act’s observed time), the act it derives from (prov:wasDerivedFrom) and the assignment before it. The status in force at a time is that of the latest assignment holding from then or earlier; none when there is none.
Rules
- An agreement status assignment follows the latest earlier assignment of its site, or none when it is the site’s first; no two assignments of a site hold from the same time, and no act has two.
- An agreement status assignment is about the site of its act and holds from the act’s observed time, or a correction’s from the original’s (ADR-0025).
- An agreement status assignment takes the status an agreement transition allows for its act from the status in force before it; a withdrawal reads whether a consignment or planting record at the site was observed before it (ADR-0019).
