LAB CATEGORY
Topic design changes when the content includes forecasts, financial documents, countries, or political institutions. These guides show how to keep time, place, attribution, and uncertainty attached to the record. Read them when a generic category list would hide the distinctions your readers or applications need to understand.

Read the domain closest to your source material first, then compare its essential fields with another domain. Financial coverage needs reporting periods and entity relationships. Future-oriented statements need attribution, conditions, and a supported horizon. Geographic and political coverage needs place roles and institutional context. Ask which of those distinctions would disappear if your interface displayed only a subject and a date.
Work through one ambiguous record from each relevant guide. Could a company example become an apparent financial observation? Could a stated target become an apparent forecast? Could a publisher's location become an apparent event location? Write the missing context beside each mistake and decide whether it belongs in a structured field, a source passage, or a review note. This exercise produces a practical checklist for adapting a general taxonomy to a specific reading task.
A place name, an institution, and a political subject play different roles in a document. Preserve those distinctions with sourced entity relationships, multilingual evidence, and review rules that make geographic context inspectable.

Prediction coverage needs careful boundaries between the subject, the statement, and its time horizon. Build a document contract that preserves uncertainty and provenance without presenting extracted labels as forecasts or probabilities.

Financial document labels need more than company names. Separate the document type, entities, reporting periods, and evidence so readers can find relevant material without confusing topic classification with a financial conclusion.
