Evaluate semantic stabilization readiness — semantic

Evaluate whether a semantically enriched observational vector can be coerced into stricter semantic representations.

Usage

semantic_stabilisation(x)

semantic_stabilization(x)

Arguments

x: A semantically enriched vector, typically a prelabelled vector.

Value

A named list containing:

valid: Logical. TRUE if coercion succeeded.
message: Diagnostic warning or error message, if any.

Details

The function currently evaluates whether a vector with provisional semantic overlays can be represented as a labelled::labelled() vector.

Semantic stabilization is interpreted progressively:

observational vectors preserve raw observed values;
prelabelled vectors attach provisional semantic overlays;
stricter semantic representations may require additional semantic normalization or stabilization.

The function therefore does not evaluate semantic correctness, but rather structural readiness for coercion into stricter semantic representations.

Examples

x <- prelabel(
  c("r", "png", "csv"),
  labels = c(
    r = "source_code",
    png = "visualisation",
    csv = "tabular_data"
  )
)
