Public tracker data dictionary
Field-by-field definitions for the public UAE VASP authorisations CSV and the VASP Verify domain-index JSON.

Versioning and interpretation
Consumers should check schema_version and publication_id, tolerate additional fields, and use stable entity and authorisation identifiers rather than names. A present domain key is reviewed evidence, not a statement that every activity on that domain is authorised.
