When anybody actually looks.
The part
What it is
Nothing prompts a review. Without a scheduled one, the library grows and ages in the same direction, and nobody notices until a customer quotes something from four years ago.
Twice a year is usually enough for a library of ordinary size, and it takes an afternoon.
The smallest level
The attributes it carries
Each attribute is one of the framework’s shared types. What a date is, and how it is written, is defined once for the whole model — the note here says what it means in this particular place.
