Jurisdiction and scope · QUICK REFERENCE

A source country is not an availability list

A jurisdiction label in a research directory should tell readers what the source concerns. It should not silently become a list of places where a service can be used. State the label's meaning beside the filter and repeat it where ambiguity is likely.

A practical checklist

  1. Read the filter definition.
  2. Check the territory named in the source.
  3. Keep eligibility questions separate.

Putting it in context

An Australian notice belongs under Australia because of its subject matter. That categorisation does not answer whether a reader elsewhere may use the service.

Keep in mind

Operator Atlas does not provide an eligibility checker.
