HDL

HDL is tracked from public network records as an institution profile for BTW analyst review. The profile keeps infrastructure resources as evidence and does not promote them into BTW entities. published contact points are separated from person candidates so role mailboxes and teams cannot become people. The export is based on public sources only unless future evidence explicitly raises its validation status. Updates should follow newly published evidence.

Subject Position HDL is represented in published evidence as an institution profile, with network resources kept as supporting evidence. Public network evidence is used as supporting context for the article subject. The public position is based on registry profile material, route-resource ownership samples, published contact points, and retrieval documents. The profile is suitable for human review because it names the controlling organisation or institution and keeps network resources as supporting facts.

Its operating role is described through observable infrastructure signals, source coverage, and evidence freshness rather than inferred private commercial claims. Operating Role / Decision Role HDL is tracked as public network infrastructure or registry subject with observable resource and contact evidence. Control Surface Public network evidence is used as supporting context for the article subject. Impact Mechanism The impact mechanism is public visibility into infrastructure dependency, routing ownership samples, and published contact or registry evidence.

Category Boundary The primary subject is Institution; ASN, prefix, IP, contact, RDAP, WHOIS, BGP, PeeringDB, and published references records remain evidence only.
