 "scenario": "the operator is described by class, never by name: an electric utility in the United States running substations, control centres and generating plants whose control systems fall under the critical infrastructure protection standards, with the first phase on protective relays and their engineering workstations at one group of substations for two patch cycles, reading seven systems of record and the patch artifact channel and writing only draft change requests and confirmed evidence items",
 "source": "chapter 5 of the paper (the sixteen objects by anchor in 5.1, the status vocabularies in 5.2, the Substation record in 5.3, where the platform scrub had printed 'The site'), the properties and the thirteen labelled typed links of Figure 4 (its title counts fourteen; one line is drawn without a label and is left out), and the anchors and links of Table 8; the Work order, Evidence item, Auditor question and Cycle agent anchors follow 5.1 (the work order system, the evidence repository, and born in the system); properties the figure truncates are left out, and the Protective relay carries the eight properties 5.3 names.",
