The work of representation
Abstract
Representation is an essential part of the process by which meaning is produced and exchanged between members of a culture. It does involve the use of language, of signs and images which stand for or represent things. Representation is the production of the meaning of the concepts in our minds through language. It is the link between concepts and language which enables us to refer to either ‘real’ world of objects, people or events, or indeed to imaginary worlds of fictional objects, people and events. Meaning depends on relationship between things in the world – people, objects and events, real or fictional – and conceptual system, which can operate as mental representations of them. At the heart of meaning process in culture, then, are related ‘systems of representation’. The related ‘systems of representation’ enables us to give meaning to world by constructing a set of correspondences or a chain of equivalences between things – people, objects, events, abstract ideas, etc.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
