Evidence type: authored paraphrase of inspected source, not a source snapshot

Supported claim: DQV describes quality assessments, metrics, annotations and provenance while explicitly avoiding a universal complete definition of quality. Fitness for purpose remains a user judgment.

Limit: A W3C Working Group Note, not a quality certificate. Schema conformance alone cannot substantiate documentary truth.
