## Research gaps <!--research_gaps-->
| observation | domain | state | detail | source |
| ----------- | ------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------- |
| eu-2002-cd | identity | disputed | Release date differs by source: Deutsche Grammophon gives June 3, 2002; MusicBrainz 2002-08-13 (Germany); World of Books 2002-08-12; Discogs only 2002 (Europe). The Release field keeps the year. | ^dg |
| eu-2002-cd | identity | disputed | The eBay Australia catalogue record gives Country/Region of Manufacture as Japan, but Discogs transcribes "Made in the E.U." and the mould text "MADE IN GERMANY BY UNIVERSAL M & L"; the disc transcription is followed. | ^ebay-au |
| eu-2002-cd | media | disputed | Discogs transcribes the ℗ line as covering tracks "3 to 6" on a five-track disc and spells "Deutsche Grammophone GmbH"; the typo is corrected here, the track range is kept as transcribed. | ^discogs |
| eu-2002-cd | relationships | unknown | No public source names the GS1 licensee of prefix 0028947; the gs1_prefix_owner edge is derived from Deutsche Grammophon listing the UPC. | ^dg |
| | images | unknown | No openly licensed cover photo found; the Deutsche Grammophon and Discogs images carry no reuse licence. | |
