        "v3.0.1 (2026-07-04): re-anchored from proeth-core:Event to IAO information content entity. The committed individuals are composed Step-4 analysis records (identifier, decision question, options, role) with no temporal participation, and the audited core Event definition (v2.10) restricts Event to NON-volitional occurrences, which a choice juncture is definitionally not. The juncture's temporal reality is carried by the Step-3 Action/Event timeline; the DecisionPoint record is the analytic artifact marking it, uniform with the rest of the analysis layer."@en ;
    skos:definition "Decision points mark critical junctures in ethics cases where actors face choices between alternatives with ethical implications. Per Hobbs and Moore (2005) scenario-directed decision analysis, these points structure the ethical problem space and enable systematic analysis of options, constraints, and outcomes."@en .
