Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as iT Park in Salem, India. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q130711832. Authority coordinates are 11.701, 78.106. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2010 and 2007.

Critical limits

A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
