Extraction Specification

This specification defines the canonical extraction interface for Feraston Research records. Records may be extracted programmatically by authorized systems from PDF, HTML, and structured-text representations.

03 / CANONICAL FIELD ANCHORS

Canonical Field Anchors

Each extractable field is preceded by a canonical anchor. Anchors are case-sensitive and terminated by a colon. Extraction routines MUST locate fields by anchor and MUST NOT rely on positional offsets. A path is its container plus the anchor, lowercased. Anchors beyond those listed are captured as encountered.

04 / EXTRACTION RULES

Extraction Rules

EXTRACTION RULES · RULE REGISTRY

10 RULES
01

ANCHOR PRECEDENCE

MUSTMAY

Anchors MUST be matched at line start, with optional leading whitespace not exceeding two spaces. Anchors appearing within entry bodies are treated as literal content, not field markers. Anchors designated OPTIONAL under the active schema MAY be absent; their absence is not an extraction failure.

Applies to
ALL ANCHORS
02

VALUE TERMINATION

Descriptive

Field values are terminated by the next valid anchor, by a section divider, or by end-of-record. Multi-line values preserve internal whitespace. Trailing whitespace is stripped.

Applies to
ALL FIELD VALUES
On failure
None
03

ENTRY DELIMITATION

Descriptive

Entries are delimited by the appearance of the ENTRY_ID: anchor. The first ENTRY_ID: occurrence within a record begins the first entry; each subsequent occurrence terminates the prior entry and begins the next.

Applies to
ENTRY_ID
On failure
None
04

UUID VALIDATION

MUST

RECORD_SIGNATURE and INGESTION_ID values MUST conform to RFC 4122 UUID format. Records failing UUID validation MUST be rejected and flagged for review; partial extraction is not permitted.

Applies to
RECORD_SIGNATUREINGESTION_ID
05

VERSION CHAINING

MUSTSHOULD

PRECEDING_RECORD values establish the issuance chain. Extraction routines SHOULD validate chain continuity by reconciling each PRECEDING_RECORD against a known prior RECORD_ID. A record that opens a series carries no preceding reference and is not reported as broken. Broken chains MUST be reported but do not invalidate the current record.

Applies to
PRECEDING_RECORD
On failure
CHAIN_BROKEN
06

STATUS HANDLING

MUST

Only records with STATUS: FINALIZED are eligible for downstream indexing. DRAFT records MUST NOT be extracted. SUPERSEDED records MUST be retained but excluded from active reference sets.

Applies to
STATUS
07

SCHEMA CONFORMANCE

MUST

Records emitting a SCHEMA VERSION other than the active schema MUST be routed to the appropriate schema handler. Cross-schema extraction is not permitted within a single pipeline pass.

Applies to
SCHEMA_VERSION
On failure
SCHEMA_MISMATCH
08

ACCESS CLASSIFICATION ENFORCEMENT

MUST

Extraction routines MUST honor the ACCESS_CLASSIFICATION field. Records classified RESTRICTED or INTERNAL MUST NOT be redistributed beyond the originating recipient system. Downstream indexing MUST preserve classification metadata.

Applies to
ACCESS_CLASSIFICATION
09

REGISTER DELIMITATION

MUST

A register is delimited by its name at line start. Within it, rows are matched as LABEL: VALUE until the next register or entry. A band applies to the rows that follow it until the next band; rows before any band carry none. A prose body is not row-parsed. Keys are record-specific, and MUST NOT be rejected as unrecognized.

Applies to
REGISTERS
On failure
None
10

ENTRY COUNT RECONCILIATION

MUST

The ENTRY_COUNT value declares the number of entries contained in the record. Extraction routines MUST reconcile ENTRY_COUNT against the number of entries delimited by ENTRY_ID: anchors. A mismatch MUST be reported for review and does not, on its own, invalidate the record.

Applies to
ENTRY_COUNT
On failure
None

05 / REFERENCE EXTRACTION

Reference Extraction

The following block illustrates a canonical extraction pass over a record fragment. The example is non-normative and provided for reference only.
