+# 16. Notes
+
+Date: 2023-09-27
+
+## Status
+
+Provisional
+
+## Context
+
+We want a log of events including notes from human and machine events.
+
+## Decision
+
+Whilst the log might contain other events (e.g. publication of new versions, enrichment times, etc.) a
+core aspect is recording notes.
+
+These should be placed in the Marklogic Properties and be a single tag with nested tags, eg.
+
+<notes>
+  <note time="2022-02-02T02:02:02Z" source="human" author="dragon" type="on hold">Judgment has typo</note>
+  <note time="2022-01-01T01:01:01Z" source="machine" author="ingester" type="new judgment">Judgment TDR-2023-RFT uploaded</note>
+</notes>
+
+Notes should be added to the end of this list; should identify whether they're human-written or machine-written, have timestamps, help us understand what person or machine wrote the message, allow a machine-readable categorisation of messages, and has writable text.
+
+## Consequences
+
+We should be able to track the lifecycle of a document
