> Method: derived_from_dataset. Every quoted name/definition is from the first-hand source cited per cell. Equivalence is a derived editorial judgement anchored on Latin name + process; where jurisdictions use different regulatory units the verdict is closest_with_differences / no_confirmed_equivalent rather than 'same'.
