History

• 2026-04-23 SMR: added skos:hasTopConcept sdnc:ICAT08 so that the vocabularyTemplate-based HTML generation can anchor the broader/narrower tree at the numeric-model category root. The base SDNDEV scheme as distributed by NERC does not list ICAT08 as a top concept; this local NumericModel.ttl export extends it solely for documentation-rendering purposes.
