CVOR Abstract — glossary
Record terminology used throughout CVOR Abstract, with definitions and links to the original sources.
CVOR Driver Abstract
The individual commercial-driver record described by Ontario, with a five-year scope and Ontario operation coverage.
Explore entry ↗Records & contentsIssue date
The date of the particular copy being read; distinct from the period of history that the product covers.
Explore entry ↗Records & contentsCarrier abstract
A record about an operator; it is a different subject from the individual Driver Abstract.
Explore entry ↗Records & contentsMedical due date
A medical due date is one of the fields Ontario identifies in its individual CVOR Driver Abstract. Read it separately from the licence-status field and from the history of commercial-driving events. The presence of a date is not a diagnosis or an explanation of the driver's medical circumstances.
Explore entry ↗Records & contentsOntario operation coverage
Ontario operation coverage describes a geographic limit of the individual CVOR Driver Abstract. Ontario's product description concerns the driver's relevant commercial operation in Ontario over its stated five-year period. The document should be interpreted with both that place and that period attached to any summary of the results.
Explore entry ↗Records & contentsDriver identity
Driver identity means the person to whom the individual CVOR Driver Abstract relates. This is the first distinction to establish before reading event information: the Driver Abstract concerns an individual, while the carrier products concern an operator. A familiar employer name or the word CVOR alone does not settle the subject.
Explore entry ↗Records & contentsCollision entry
A collision entry is collision information reported within the scope of an individual CVOR Driver Abstract. The document concerns relevant Ontario commercial-driving history over its stated five-year period. An entry belongs to that defined record; it is not a complete narrative of everything that happened or a substitute for the underlying documentation.
Explore entry ↗Records & contentsInspection entry
An inspection entry is inspection information appearing within the commercial-driving record being reviewed. Ontario distinguishes the individual Driver Abstract, carrier abstracts and a Commercial Vehicle Inspection Report. Those documents have different subjects and purposes, so an inspection-related reference should be read with the exact product title attached.
