# ITC-WP-0008 - Railiance Fabric Conformance Support

## Goal

Prepare canon-side support for refactoring `railiance-fabric` to conform to
and inform InfoTechCanon, especially entity and edge capture for visualization.

## Intent

Railiance-fabric should become a practical pressure test for whether the canon
captures useful entities and edges cleanly enough for graph visualization and
system reasoning.

## Tasks

### T01 - Entity and edge capture criteria

```task
id: ITC-WP-0008-T01
status: planned
priority: high
```

- Define expected entity categories for a fabric-style system.
- Define relationship and edge categories that support visualization.
- Separate canonical relationships from display-only graph edges.

### T02 - Mapping expectations

```task
id: ITC-WP-0008-T02
status: planned
priority: high
```

- Identify which models railiance-fabric should map to first.
- Include Landscape, Network, Data, DevSecOps, Observability, Governance,
  Security, and PURPOSES where relevant.

### T03 - Visualization examples

```task
id: ITC-WP-0008-T03
status: planned
priority: medium
```

- Add small graph examples showing clean entity/edge capture.
- Include examples that expose bad graph shapes and their correction.

### T04 - Consumer workplan brief

```task
id: ITC-WP-0008-T04
status: planned
priority: medium
```

- Produce a brief for a railiance-fabric consumer workplan.
- Keep the actual railiance-fabric refactor workplan in that repo.

## Acceptance

- The canon defines practical graph capture expectations for railiance-fabric.
- Visualization needs inform the standard without forcing display semantics
  into canonical concepts.
- A consumer workplan brief exists for railiance-fabric.
