I think the root of what Terry is trying to get at is less about source of truth and more about relationship context. The concensus was among many of the practitioners *and* vendors that if we have a relationship linking two objects, that relationship should exist independant of version - aka implicit versioning - so that if I version an object I do not have to re-issue relationships, rather those relationships are valid for all versions. There wasn't anyone who really backed the idea of having to recreate relationships every time you versioned something.

We would therefore assume that we want the same to hold true for translations - if I translate an object, all of the relationships relevant to that object should be maintained.

This way of doing translations causes the same problems as the explicit versioning... relationships no longer point to the latest version of an object (as there may be two translations of the same object). Which object is the 'truth'? Which version of the object is the one that everyone should connect their relationships to?

Terry, you bring up a good point. This point may or may-not be related to versioning.

I don’t believe that any version of an object that contains an assertion as “the truth”. It’s just another version of something that “could” be true based on someone’s subjective opinion. Version 1 of an indicator could be more truthful than Version 99 of an indicator, who knows?
