Concept rows are generated from the runtime semantic resolver, not copied from the README.
Use variant, geography, and frequency only where the concept entry declares support for those selectors.
Source-native retrieval details remain available through search_datasets, list_catalogue, get_abs_dataset_structure, get_abs_data, and get_rba_table or get_apra_data.
