Annotations give regulatory knowledge its practical grounding. By linking concepts such as measures, incidents, and their context to elements found in multimodal data—especially text—they transform abstract requirements into contextualized, verifiable information.

Through annotation, regulations become traceable within real operational environments: documents reveal obligations, reports expose gaps, and domain-specific language connects directly to the ontology. This creates a dynamic, evidence-based knowledge layer that enables consistent interpretation, strengthens automated reasoning, and supports more reliable safety decisions.
