description: >-
  The machine-readable vocabularies actually observed on LSE-affiliated surfaces,
  each attributed to the party that operates the surface carrying it. LSE authors
  none of these vocabularies; it deploys them. Recorded so the institution's
  programmable footprint is legible without crediting it with vocabulary authorship.
