This key lists the parties that claim a version of a disputed boundary to be their boundary. This key was included in a rejected proposal that describes the rationale and semantics in more detail. Despite the rejection, this key is used on a number of disputed boundaries worldwide and may be useful in that context.
By definition, a disputed claim is rejected by one or more parties to the conflict, who can be identified using disputed_by=*. Other entities who are not party to the conflict may recognize the claim; identify them using recognized_by=*.
