Class Hierarchy
Definition

Confidentiality constraint prohibiting an engineer from uploading or transmitting confidential client data to open-source, publicly accessible, or third-party AI platforms or software systems where the data may be exposed, retained, or used outside the confidential professional relationship.

Mitigation Strategies
Anonymize or redact confidential information before inputting into any AI platform
Obtain explicit client consent before using any third-party platform to process client data
Review AI platform terms of service for data retention and sharing policies before use
Use only secure, enterprise-grade AI tools with appropriate data handling agreements when processing confidential client data
Violation Impact
Breach of client confidentiality, potential legal liability, loss of client trust, exposure of proprietary or sensitive site data to unauthorized parties, and disciplinary action.
Property Structure
1 · Object and Data Properties rdfs:domain on this class or ancestor
PropertyRangeDescription
constrainedEntity inherited Agent Relates a Constraint to the Agent whose conduct it limits in the case scenario. Distinct from constrainedBy (Action -> Constraint), which records that an action is subject to a constraint.
establishedBy inherited CodeProvision Indicates which code provision establishes this ethical concept.
2 · Definitional Attributes SHACL definitional shape
AttributeProperty (sh:path)Description
boundary typeboundaryTypeThe controlled boundary type, which drives the subClassOf typing into one of the ten closed boundary-type classes: LegalConstraint, RegulatoryConstraint, ResourceConstraint, CompetenceConstraint, JurisdictionalConstraint, ProceduralConstraint, EthicalConstraint, SafetyConstraint, ConfidentialityConstraint, TemporalConstraint. The prohibition/boundary content that individuates the type. A routing input, not stored as a literal.
established byestablishedByThe source CodeProvision that establishes the constraint, via the establishedBy edge. The second type-individuating coordinate: per the scopeNote a constraint type is the boundary it states plus its source provision. Range: CodeProvision.
3 · Bearer Attributes SHACL property shape individual data
AttributeProperty (sh:path)Description
severityseverityThe severity of the constraint in this case (critical, high, medium, low); a per-occasion assessment (Dennis severity ordering) that can differ across cases sharing the same boundary.
applicability conditionapplicabilityConditionThe situational TRIGGER: the circumstances under which the prohibition applies in this case (the Dennis specification-by-context condition); temporalScope carries the durational window.
constrained entityconstrainedEntityThe agent whose conduct the constraint limits, via the outgoing constrainedEntity edge. Range: Agent.
temporal scopetemporalScopeThe durational WINDOW during which the boundary is in force in this case (e.g. for the duration of the engagement); applicabilityCondition carries the situational trigger under which it applies.
sourcesourceThe provision or authority string as extracted, kept verbatim on the individual; each dotted NSPE designation that resolves against the provision registry is also materialized as the establishedBy edge (a non-code source survives only in this literal).
constraint statementconstraintStatementThe operative must-not clause, kept verbatim; mirrors skos:definition and is one of the narrative source fields the defeasibility harvest reads from committed TTLs.

FromPropertyDescription
Action constrainedBy inherited Relates an action to constraints that limit or restrict it. The ratified D1 producer (an Action-pass action_constraints field resolved to this edge) shipped without its emitter; the edge is reserved with the Action-side enrichment family (usesResource pattern) and the producer lands with the Step-4 enrichment or the 119 rebuild. Do not deprecate on the zero-use test.
Code Provision establishes inherited Relates a code provision to the ethical concepts (principles, obligations, constraints) it establishes or defines.
State activatesConstraint inherited Relates a State to a Constraint that the obtaining of the State activates, bounding the actions available to the role-bearers the state concerns (the S->Cs linkage).

The Confidentiality Constraint class covers boundaries on information disclosure and privacy, which encompasses this scenario. However, the specific application to open-source AI platform data upload is a variant not explicitly addressed by the existing class. Matching as a variant of Confidentiality Constraint at medium confidence, while defining a more specific reusable subtype for AI platform contexts.
