Adding to the Registry


 About


This page defines the process of how elements are added to the "OIDF-Defined" section of the registry

 

How to Make a Request


Members of the OIDF schemas WG collectively serve as the editors of the OIDF schemas registry. They follow this process:

  1. Any community member may request a new element or set of elements be added to the Registry
  2. Requester must send a ELEMENT-REQUEST email as defined below.
  3. Following the receipt of the ELEMENT-REQUEST email, there is a discussion period on the WG Schemas list
  4. Once the discussion reaches rough consensus, the requester must send a ELEMENT-VOTE email as defined below
  5. By the end of at least one week and not more than one month, the new URI is approved if:
    • At least three members of the WG vote +1 (approve) in a reply to the list.
    • No members of the WG vote -1 (disapprove) in a reply to the list.
  6. If the new request receives the necessary votes then
    1. VOTE-RESULT email must be sent (see below)
    2. The new Claim URI "row" in the Registry Catalog is marked "approved" along with the date approved and a link to the VOTE-RESULT email
    3. A appropriatly formatted document descibing the element will be published at the URI.
