It is cited wherever a relation type has to say where its name came from. It carries no authority over the subjects it connects, only over how this atlas names the connection.FactsSourcesClaims Backed By This Source (67 claims)Comments (0)Reader Challenges (0 open reader challenges)FactsPublisherWell-attestedPolitical AtlasSource TypeWell-attestedreference-databaseReliability TierWell-attested1Highest tier, and deliberately narrow in what that claims. This is the atlas's own register of the words it draws its edges with, so it is the last word on which word this atlas uses, and no evidence at all about the world an edge describes. Any claim resting on it is a claim about vocabulary.SourcesAtlas Relation Vocabularytier 1Political AtlasClaims Backed By This Source (67 claims)This source backs 67 claims across the atlas.
