    iao:0000116 "Boundary with Resource (deliberate, mirrors the v2.7.3 Guideline decision from the other side): a CodeProvision is the normative STATEMENT itself, a directive information entity like Principle/Obligation/Constraint, and is therefore owl:disjointWith Resource. The citable knowledge SOURCE is its containing document, the Guideline/EthicalCode, which IS a Resource. The two are linked by partOfGuideline / containsProvision. Typing a provision as a Resource would double-count the citation (document and statement) and cross the directive/descriptive line the Resource definition draws."@en ;
    rdfs:comment "An information content entity representing a single provision, section, or rule from a professional code of ethics (e.g., NSPE Code of Ethics, NEA Code of Ethics). Provisions establish the normative foundation from which Principles, Obligations, and Constraints are derived."@en ;
