Calibrate construct and measurement validity: Semantic Durability Across Interface Contexts
RFR-D6EB5EBF — Calibrate construct and measurement validity: Semantic Durability Across Interface Contexts
Research opportunity
Calibrate construct and measurement validity for the claims or recommendations in “Semantic Durability Across Interface Contexts.”
Background
The originating artifact is accepted by the repository publishing inventory with status “active-research-package.” Its KD-CLF-005: Reuse must be measured at more than one layer section provides the immediate evidence boundary.
Evidence trace
- Origin document: content/projects/design-library/research-note/2026-07-21-semantic-durability-research-execution-package.md
- Section:
KD-CLF-005: Reuse must be measured at more than one layer - Specific assumption challenged: The source's treatment in “KD-CLF-005: Reuse must be measured at more than one layer” is sufficiently supported for its intended scope.
- Supporting evidence excerpt: “The same data can be reused while markup differs. The same semantic core can be reused while contextual wrappers differ. The same behavior can be reused without sharing the entire visual component. Therefore, “markup reuse” is only one kind of reuse and should not be maximized at the expense of clarity.”
- Reason this opportunity exists: Whether the document's operational measures isolate the intended construct rather than a correlated proxy or decision strategy.
Unknowns
- Whether the document's operational measures isolate the intended construct rather than a correlated proxy or decision strategy.
Dependencies
- None; this is foundational work.
Suggested REP and methodology
- Suggested REP:
REP-SEMANTIC-DURABILITY-ACROSS-INTER-MEASUREMENT - Methodology: Define the construct, compare convergent and discriminant measures, estimate reliability, test measurement invariance, and publish calibration data.
- Expected outputs: Construct definition, measurement protocol, reliability study, calibration dataset, and validity report.
- Success criteria: Measures meet declared reliability and validity thresholds across the principal populations and contexts.
- Recommended agent:
measurement-research-agent - Estimated effort: Medium
- Expected knowledge gained: Whether the document's operational measures isolate the intended construct rather than a correlated proxy or decision strategy.
