Change Note
v2.3.0: Refined from IAO:information content entity to IAO:directive information entity. Constraints define the permissible space of action through negative behavioral limits (Arkin 2008) and prohibitions specifying what must not be done (Ganascia 2007). Their specification of prohibited actions under temporal and contextual conditions (Dennis et al. 2016) constitutes directive content.
