Pre-release. This site describes standard version 0.7.0-dev, which is in development and may change before version 1.0.0.
The office’s decision, made at the desk, which stratum a site‘s trees are in: delivered only, planted without monitoring, or planted with monitoring. Who decided and when, as any record (ADR-0004); the latest governs, and a correction restates it (ADR-0018). The trees’ strata are derived from it (ADR-0029); a fieldworker is never asked.

Rules
- 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zoned time, to a registered site current when it moves, and with each thing its restatement group introduced before it withdrawn or replaced by the move or a correction before it (ADR-0027).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).
- Instance data must not use the standard’s namespace https://nova.org.za/ncgs/ (ADR-0002: instances are urn:uuid: IRIs).
- Two designations of one site at the same moment would give it two strata; a correction restates the earlier one (ADR-0018).
