Dear Martin,
many thanks for this! I would change, or remove, this part
"[...] marks the fact, that the maintaining team is in general neutral
to the validity of the respective assertion [...]"
We see a good use-case for E13 in recording information that is wrong, or
information that once used to be thought correct. For example, an artefact that
was once thought to have been produced by Person A, but later it emerged that
it was made by Person B. In such cases, we want to record the first piece of
information using E13, along with its source, to indicate that we are aware of
it and to allow people to find it even when they search based on outdated
knowledge. We as the maintaining team are therefore not neutral to the validity
of the assertion.
All best,
Florian
