+# Evidence Methodology
+
+This repository does not treat every source as equal. It separates archived records, academic sources, tertiary references, published books, founder testimony and structured dataset matches.
+
+The purpose of this methodology is to make the Canal Barra archive readable, auditable and machine-indexable without flattening different evidence types into the same category.
+
+## Evidence levels
+
+### `archived_web_capture`
+
+A primary or near-primary web source preserved by the Internet Archive or an equivalent archival service.
+
+Example: a captured Canal Barra access list or historical webpage.
+
+### `academic_secondary_source`
+
+An academic work produced near the period studied or based on formal research methodology.
+
+Academic sources are not treated as raw primary data, but they can strongly support historical context, terminology and external recognition.
+
+### `tertiary_reference`
+
+A public encyclopedic or reference page, useful for orientation, recognition and discoverability.
+
+Tertiary references are not treated as primary proof. They help connect the archive to broader public knowledge.
+
+### `published_book`
+
+A bibliographic consolidation published as a book, with metadata such as ISBN, ASIN, publication date, language and format when available.
+
+Books are useful as durable bibliographic anchors, especially when indexed by libraries, bookstores and book search systems.
+
+### `founder_statement`
+
+A founder memory, direct recollection or statement.
+
+Founder statements are historically useful, but they must remain marked as testimony unless independently corroborated by archived records, datasets, photographs, academic references or other sources.
+
+### `dataset_match`
+
+A structured information point that appears consistently across repository datasets.
+
+Example: a nickname appearing in both a governance access list and an event dataset.
+
+### `partially_documented`
+
+A record with supporting evidence that still requires additional verification, image linking, archival URL confirmation, consent review or cross-checking.
+
+### `requires_consent_before_publication`
+
+A privacy tier used when an image, private address, civil identity or sensitive contextual detail should not be published freely.
+
+This repository prioritizes historical preservation while avoiding unnecessary exposure of private civil identities.
+
+## Methodological principle
+
+The archive is strongest when no single source is forced to carry the entire historical claim.
+
+A robust claim should ideally connect several layers:
+
+1. structured repository data;
+2. archived web capture;
+3. academic or bibliographic source;
+4. privacy-aware metadata;
+5. explicit evidence status.
+
+## Evidence Weight Matrix
+
+| Evidence type | Methodological weight | Acceptance criteria | Limitations |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `archived_web_capture` | high | Direct archive URL, capture timestamp, original URL, and repository path or extracted metadata. | Archived pages can be incomplete, broken, missing images or lacking full social context. |
+| `academic_secondary_source` | high when page/citation is exact | Bibliographic metadata plus direct URL/PDF or repository citation; page numbers or excerpt IDs for specific claims. | Academic interpretation is not raw primary data; broad claims still need source-specific mapping. |
+| `pasted_academic_chat_log_excerpt` | high/medium depending on extraction | Verifiable dissertation text/PDF, page references, extraction method and preserved nickname-level excerpt context. | Founder-provided occurrence counts remain pending until text extraction is reproducible. |
+| `dataset_match` | medium/high | Structured row-level evidence, source path, stable identifiers and privacy classification. | A dataset match proves repository-observed evidence, not full historical absence/presence outside the dataset. |
+| `published_book` | medium as bibliographic consolidation; low as independent validation if authored by the founder | ISBN/ASIN/publication metadata and clear relation to the archive. | Books by the founder/author are not independent external validation of the thesis. |
+| `founder_statement` | low when isolated | Clear label, date/context when available, and separation from verified archival facts. | Useful testimony, but not independent proof without corroboration. |
+| `tertiary_reference` | contextual, not primary proof | Stable public reference path and explicit tertiary label. | Useful for orientation and discoverability, not primary historical proof. |
+| `image_manifest` | medium when linked to archived source; low when only founder_statement | Manifest ID, date/context, privacy tier, source path, hash or archive link when available. | Does not authorize image publication; can contain privacy risk and may require consent review. |
+| `archived_profile_based_user_feedback` | medium/high when from Wayback | Direct archived profile URL, timestamp, nickname-level extraction and privacy review. | Public profile evidence does not authorize civil identity inference or private biographical claims. |
+
+## Authorial Source Rule
+
+Books written by the founder/author should be treated as:
+
+```text
+bibliographic_consolidation
+authorial_primary_source
+published_book
+```
+
+They should not be treated as:
+
+```text
+independent_external_validation
+```
+
+This does not reduce their bibliographic value. It prevents circular validation: the archive should not claim that the thesis is independently proven merely because the founder's own book repeats or consolidates it.
+
+## What this repository avoids
+
+- It does not present founder memory as independent proof.
+- It does not treat Wikipedia as a primary source.
+- It does not expose private civil identity when nickname-level evidence is enough.
+- It does not invent ISBNs, DOIs, URLs or institutional links.
+- It does not erase uncertainty; it labels uncertainty.
+
+## Core thesis handling
+
+The thesis that Canal Barra was one of the first — and possibly the first — documented organic social networks in Brazil is treated as a historical argument supported by multiple evidence categories.
+
+The repository distinguishes this from a narrower platform-only definition of social networking based exclusively on profile pages and explicit friend graphs.

+public_chat_log_dossier_url: https://canalbarra.com/documents/dossie-canal-barra-monografia-uff-2004-anexo-2-logs.pdf
+chat_log_source_range: Anexo 2, complete dissertation PDF pages 217-250
+chat_log_dossier_sha256: 69065faabc1a07d7ae003e31efd01b79ae183ba5b627f1d856c7f363754b038b
+source_status: short_dossier_available; anexo_2_chat_log_dossier_available; official_institutional_pdf_pending
+```
+
+## Source Access Note
+
+The public short dossier URL points to a curated Canal Barra evidence dossier that extracts selected monograph material for quick review, including the index and the Canal Barra-related section. It is not treated as a replacement for the complete dissertation or for the Anexo 2 chat-log material.
+
+The public chat-log dossier URL points to a separate extraction of Anexo 2, beginning at complete dissertation PDF page 217 and covering the public log section used for nickname occurrence audit.
+
+Important limitation: the current short dossier does **not** include the full reproduced channel conversation logs. The public chat logs are in Anexo 2 of the dissertation. These logs were edited by the academic author for readability and analysis, but the dissertation states that public messages or transcribed dialogues were edited without altering their content.
+
+The reported occurrence counts currently refer to the combined total found across the two public extract files: the short dossier and the Anexo 2 chat-log dossier. They must not be attributed to either file alone unless a future line-by-line audit separates counts by source file and page.
+
+The official or institutional PDF URL remains pending. Until then, the short dossier functions as a public audit layer and partial extraction reference, while the Anexo 2 chat-log dossier functions as the public log-corpus reference.
+
+## Methodological Disclaimer and Scope
+
+The UFF dissertation is not treated as an academic endorsement of this repository's full social-network thesis. It is treated as a contemporary academic container preserving Canal Barra channel conversation material.
+
+Its importance is chronological and cultural: the dissertation was produced while Canal Barra was still part of the living online/offline youth culture of Rio de Janeiro, before Facebook, Instagram and platform-based social media became dominant. For this repository, that timing matters. The material was not reconstructed decades later from nostalgia alone; it was preserved or reproduced while the IRC-based social environment was still active enough to appear inside academic observation.
+
+This repository uses the dissertation in a narrower documentary sense. Its value here is that it preserves or reproduces Canal Barra-related conversation material from the period, helping anchor nickname persistence, interaction patterns and community presence in the historical record. Any broader interpretation of Canal Barra as an organic, territorialized pre-platform social network is an analytical claim made by this repository, not a claim attributed to the dissertation author.
+
+Reported nickname occurrence counts, including VaNZaN with 119 occurrences, BM_ with 108 occurrences and Biano with 80 occurrences, are currently treated as preliminary inventory data based on the combined public extraction set: the short Canal Barra dossier plus the Anexo 2 chat-log dossier. These metrics are expected to reflect both contextual mentions and the dense, rapid-turn structure of real-time IRC logs preserved within Anexo 2, where substantial interaction volumes could accumulate within a single chat session. These numbers remain flagged as `founder_provided_count_pending_repository_verification` until fully audited and cross-referenced against the public extract files, complete dissertation text, page references or extracted occurrence tables.
+
+## Evidence Meaning
+
+The relevant evidence is not simply that a person or nickname was "cited" by the dissertation.
+
+The stronger and more precise claim is:
+
+```text
+Nicknames appear in the public dissertation-derived extract set, especially inside pasted Canal Barra channel conversation excerpts reproduced by the dissertation.
+```
+
+This matters because a pasted channel excerpt preserves traces of live IRC interaction: nickname presence, conversational context and community language. It should still be handled carefully, because the repository has not yet added a verified complete PDF/text extraction with page references and reproducible occurrence counts.
+
+## Nickname Occurrence Table
+
+| Nickname | Reported occurrences | Evidence context | Verification status | Linked repo record |
+|---|---:|---|---|---|
+| `VaNZaN` | 119 | combined public extract count across short dossier + Anexo 2 chat-log dossier; count still unaudited | founder_provided_count_pending_repository_verification | `evidence/archived-profiles/ARCHIVED-PROFILE-VANZAN-USERID-40-2002.md`; `data/profiles/vanzan.jsonld` |
+| `BM_` | 108 | combined public extract count across short dossier + Anexo 2 chat-log dossier; count still unaudited | founder_provided_count_pending_repository_verification | `data/profiles/bm_.jsonld` |
+| `Biano` | 80 | combined public extract count across short dossier + Anexo 2 chat-log dossier; count still unaudited | founder_provided_count_pending_repository_verification | TODO |
+
+## Methodological Note
+
+The occurrence counts above still need to be verified against the two public extract files and, where necessary, the complete dissertation text/PDF and reproduced conversation-log material in Anexo 2.
+
+Until the repository includes extracted text, page references or a reproducible occurrence table, these counts must not be treated as automated validated counts.
+
+Current status:
+
+```text
+source_type: academic_secondary_source
+evidence_subtype: dissertation_derived_public_extracts_and_pasted_academic_chat_log_excerpt
+count_status: founder_provided_count_pending_repository_verification
+count_scope: combined_public_extract_count
+short_dossier_status: partial_extract_without_full_chat_logs
+chat_log_dossier_status: public_anexo_2_extract_available_for_audit
+chat_log_source_range: Anexo 2, complete dissertation PDF pages 217-250
+```
+
+Even while pending, the counts are useful because they guide future corpus indexing. They identify which nicknames should be prioritized when the public extract set and complete dissertation text/log material are safely acquired, extracted and checked.
