kempersc f7bf1cc5ae Refactor schema slots and classes
- Deleted obsolete slot definitions: statement_summary, statement_text, statement_type, status_name, supersede_articles, supersede_condition, supersede_name, temporal_dynamics, total_amount, typical_contents, use_cases, was_acquired_through, was_fetched_at, was_retrieved_at.
- Updated existing slot definitions for states_or_stated to enhance clarity and structure.
- Introduced new classes: Article, ConditionofAccess, FinancialStatementType, MaximumQuantity, Series, Summary, Type, and their respective slots to improve schema organization and usability.
- Added new slots: changes_or_changed_through, has_or_had_condition_of_access, has_or_had_heritage_type, is_or_was_part_of_series, is_or_was_retrieved_at, maximum_of_maximum to capture additional metadata and relationships.

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_or_had_level with CertaintyLevel class
- `certainty_note` (string) → has_or_had_note with Note class (within CertaintyLevel)
