Abstract
During the 1960s Peter J. Scott and colleagues at the then Commonwealth Archives Office (now National Archives of Australia) devised a new approach to archival intellectual control which separated descriptive information about the creators of records from information about the records themselves. This approach - which became known as the ‘series’ system - has since been adopted by all public records institutions in Australia and New Zealand and by a number of other archival programmes around the world. It has also fundamentally influenced the development and evolution of international archival descriptive standards. In this article, Adrian Cunningham, Laura Millar, and Barbara Reed explore the origins, features, rationale, impact, and continuing relevance of Scott's series system.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
