A proposed record, derived from the three inspected source types and labelled synthesis: asset identifier and source URL; the statement locator and its class (file tag, folder notice, collection page, API field); statement revision or Last-Modified and sha256 of the statement bytes; the asset's own hash if the source reports one (Commons sha1) without downloading; the exact licence text or tag copied (excerpt under 25 words); author and credit line; scope caveats (collection vs file, 'some may impose additional restrictions', research-only conditions); and an explicit 'not stated' for each unaddressed right (hosting, redistribution, modification, model_training, commercial use). The Xiph and Commons examples show why each field is needed.
