A Standard Matter describes a specific consideration that must be addressed in an organization's report in order to adhere to the standard. Matters may be grouped or contain sub-matters.
Example:
policies related to own workforce (S1 -1)
policies related to workers in value chain (S1 - 2)
policies related to affected communities (S1 - 3)
policies related to consumers and end users (S1 - 4)
processes for engaging with own workforce about impacts (S1 - 2)
processes for engaging with workers in value chain about impacts (S2 - 2)
processes for engaging with affected communities about impacts (S3 - 2)
processes for engaging with consumers and end users about impacts (S4 - 2)
Processes to remediate negative impacts and channels for own workforce to raise concerns (S1 - 3)
Processes to remediate negative impacts and channels for workers in value chain to raise concerns (S2 - 3)
Processes to remediate negative impacts and channels for affected communities to raise concerns (S3 - 3)
Processes to remediate negative impacts and channels for consumers and end users to raise concerns (S4 - 3)

has.entitySchemaAbstractionLevel
A level of abstraction assigned to an Entity schema. Logical schema descriptions use complex dataTypes, inheritance, and entities as attributes. Resolved descriptions contain none of those things, only final trait and attribute sets are shown. A composition schema manipulates, guides or restates parts of logical schemas to produce one resolved schema.
is.linkedEntity.identifier
Marks the attribute(s) that hold foreign key references to a linked (used as an attribute) entity. This attribute is added to the resolved entity to enumerate the referenced entities.
