Claim

JSON document binding subjects (content digests) to a colophon and issuer metadata.

Attestation

Seal / mark

Visual Innsigle badge; one family for all composition states. Valid signed or unsigned. Not the same as signet.

Maker

Publisher or operator who puts an Innsigle on work—not restricted to human-authored composition.

Signet

Optional act of cryptographically signing a claim. Interior operator term; not always-on chrome.
