SSA Ontology
Thematic collections that organise SSA concepts without flattening each term into a single institutional category.
Patterns in which accessibility language, processes or claims are used to impose compliance, obscure barriers or silence disabled people.
Patterns in which participation or collaboration is structured so that refusal, disagreement or withdrawal carries disproportionate cost.
Patterns through which lived knowledge, language or methods are absorbed, relabelled and detached from their authors or political meaning.
Patterns in which platforms, systems or institutions capture data, labour, insight or identity without proportionate agency, return or control.
Terms for retaining meaningful authority over digital identity, data, authorship, access and machine-readable representation.
Patterns where extraction or exclusion is embedded in the ordinary architecture of a service, policy, platform or programme.
Patterns in which apparent support creates reputational, informational or institutional value for the ally while reducing control for affected people.
Mechanisms, criteria and procedural devices that control access while disguising who holds the power to permit, delay or refuse it.
Patterns in which institutions reproduce the language or appearance of reform while preserving the underlying distribution of authority.
Patterns in which political or institutional choices are presented as unavoidable legal requirements, obscuring discretion and accountability.
Patterns in which lived accounts are sanitised, reframed or reattributed until institutions can use them without carrying their original claims.
Patterns in which neurodivergent insight, language, methods or pattern recognition are extracted without authorship, consent or return.
Patterns through which people, evidence, contributions or harms are made absent from records, decisions, metrics or public memory.
Patterns in which system structures predictably alter the meaning, visibility or consequences of a person’s communication or evidence.
Patterns that route around stated safeguards, duties or participation mechanisms while preserving formal claims of compliance.
Patterns in which access, accommodation or support is made conditional, surveilled, punitive or usable as leverage.
Patterns in which optimism, gratitude or positive framing suppresses evidence of harm, conflict or unmet obligations.
The complete concept scheme connecting survivor-authored terms across access, extraction, authorship, institutional power and semantic sovereignty.
