Change Note
v2.3.0: Changed from BFO:independent continuant to IAO:information content entity. All extracted resources (codes, precedents, standards, interpretations) are generically dependent continuants, not independent continuants. Resources are descriptive ICEs (they describe existing professional knowledge) as distinct from the prescriptive ICEs (P, O, Cs) that direct conduct.
