Documentation candidate, not a scholarly release or independent validation. OWL sources and governed registries remain authoritative. No manuscript is included.
These 40 registry decisions are conceptual descriptions, not a claim of 40 OWL object properties. Candidate multiplicities are not imposed as universal constraints; see the actual formal sources.

Owner: Pharma Profile; status: PROVISIONAL_V0_1.
Inherited registry note: Exact bridge predicates finalized in #5/#21.
Current relation auditRecords that a profile-specific semantic construct refines a reusable Core concept without changing Core identity.

Owner: Meta/Profile; status: PROVISIONAL_V0_1.
Inherited registry note: May remain registry/mapping relation, not ontology property.
Current formal disposition: SR-REL-038 is an OWL annotation property; it is not an object-property edge. The earlier registry alternative is historical.
