NCGS Evidence Types
The kinds of content-addressed artifact that support a record.
Agreement notice
A landowner’s formal notice under the site agreement: a withdrawal, or a reinstatement under the agreement’s restart provision. Contains personal data; access-controlled.
Attendance register
The register of a planting day or education session. Contains personal data; access-controlled.
Ground-cover photograph
A geotagged photograph of the ground cover, required in pairs for a withheld determination.
Interview notes
Notes or recording of a stakeholder interview. Contains personal data; access-controlled.
Ledger export
A ledger export: a query over the project ledger, handed over at close-out in whatever structure the receiver asks for, even a relational schema, and filed by content address.
Nursery delivery note
The supplier’s document listing the stock in a consignment.
On-screen signature
The site agreement signed on a tablet or phone screen: the captured signature image, kept with the agreement text it signs. One of the three formal forms of a signed agreement. Contains personal data; it lives in the evidence file store and the ledger holds only its content address (ADR-0007).
Recipient acknowledgement
The signed acknowledgement of a delivery.
Recorded consent
An audio recording in which the person who holds the site states their role, names the site and says they agree to the planting. One of the three formal forms of a signed agreement. A voice is personal data: the person is asked before recording, the recording lives in the evidence file store, and the ledger holds only its content address (ADR-0007).
Report
A monthly progress report or the final integrated report.
Site agreement
The signed site agreement, photographed or scanned. One of the three formal forms of a signed agreement. Contains personal data; access-controlled.
Site photograph
A geotagged photograph of the site as a whole.
Stock photograph
A geotagged photograph of the trees in a consignment at delivery, before any is planted.
Tree photograph
A geotagged photograph of one tree individual.
Verbal agreement recording
A sound recording of a verbal agreement: the conversation in which the landowner, site manager or owner agreed. Optional, informal evidence; the act stays verbal. Unlike a recorded consent it is not in the consent wording and makes nothing signed (ADR-0030). A voice is personal data: the person is asked before recording, the recording lives in the evidence file store, and the ledger holds only its content address (ADR-0007).
