CertaintyLevel:
class_uri: rico:ConfidenceLevel
description: |
A structured representation of certainty/confidence level with explanatory notes.
**Purpose**:
CertaintyLevel encapsulates both the level of certainty (CERTAIN, PROBABLE,
POSSIBLE, UNCERTAIN) and any notes explaining the certainty assessment.
Used primarily in provenance research to document confidence in ownership
transfer claims.
**Ontological Alignment**:
- **Primary**: `rico:ConfidenceLevel` - RiC-O confidence level
- **Close**: `crm:P141_assigned` - CIDOC-CRM attribute assignment
**Standard Values for level_value**:
- CERTAIN: Documentary evidence confirms the claim
- PROBABLE: Strong circumstantial evidence supports the claim
- POSSIBLE: Reasonable inference from available context
- UNCERTAIN: Speculative or unverified claim
**Use Cases**:
- Provenance event certainty (ProvenanceEvent)
- Attribution confidence (artwork authorship)
- Dating confidence (temporal assertions)
- Identification confidence (person/place identification)
**Replaces** (per slot_fixes.yaml):
- `certainty_level` (string) → has_level with CertaintyLevel class
- `certainty_note` (string) → has_note with Note class (within CertaintyLevel)
