    93 === Supported Submission Formats === 
     93 
     94=== Submitter Requirements === 
     95 
     96The RDS/WIP will not accept unsolicited submissions, that is submissions made without prior arrangement.  Because of the flexibility offered in terms of input and the responsibility of IDS-ADI (or other nominated body) for the published outcome, submitters must be vetted in some way. 
     97 
     98==== Vetting Submitters ==== 
     99 
     100For the RDS/WIP 1.0, rather than a certification scheme (which is planned for RDS/WIP 2.0) we will have an informal system of vetting submitters. 
     101 
     102  ''The goal of this is to ensure that IDS-ADI as a group have collective faith that the submitter will participate in good faith and have an understanding of the level of process maturity and time constraints of assessor personnel.  In short, IDS-ADI need to be convinced that the submitter will be a constructive, rather than destructive influence on the RDS/WIP in the nascent stage.'' 
     103 
     104@todo what is the process for vetting a submitter - SC email discussion and email vote? 
     105 
     106==== Access Credentials ==== 
     107 
     108Once a submitter has been vetted, they will be have access credentials prepared for them on the ids-adi.org infrastructure and distributed to them via email.  The credentials will be for an individual, not for an organization. 
     109 
     110==== Access Rights ==== 
     111 
     112Access credentials will provide a submitter with access to the 
     113[wiki:IDGenerator ID generation and allocation infrastructure] and with a formal measure of recognition as a submitter for administrative purposes of the RDS/WIP.  Access rights do not mean that submissions are automatically accepted for publishing under RDS/WIP 1.0, nor do they guarantee any particular response time by the assessors. 
     114 
     115=== Submission Requirements === 
     116 
     117Since submissions are being published with an intended quality of allowing further storage and reproduction by anyone, certain requirements apply to it, including syntactic form, acceptable language, acceptable copyright terms, and semantic form. 
     118 
     119==== Syntactic Form ==== 
     120 
     121Syntactic form is negotiable.  Supported forms are QMXF, QXF, RDF/XML, N3 or N-TRIPLE. 
     122 
     123@todo is the preferred form QMXF? 
     124 
     125Character set encoding of any XML form (QMXF, QXF, RDF/XML) must be formally stated in the XML header, unless it is UTF-8 - this is consistent with XML processing rules, but is restated here for emphasis. 
     126 
     127The character set encoding of N3 or N-TRIPLE must be UTF-8. 
     128 
     129All ISO 10646 code points expressible as 16 bit integers (Unicode) are acceptable in textual data. 
     130 
     131RDF identifier rules do apply to fragment identifiers, regardless of format: these rules are the same as those used for XML namespace prefix tokens (reference will be added here on request if needed). 
     132 
     133==== Acceptable Text ==== 
     134 
     135A submission must not contain text intended to cause alarm or offense.  Submissions found to do so may be candidates for deletion even after publication (one of the few cases of allowed deletion). 
     136 
     137==== Copyright ==== 
     138 
     139Each submission item must provide a copyright statement that allows free use of the content and any implied patents.  Copyright need not be transferred from the original party, however, anyone must be guaranteed free and unencumbered use of the information, with the exception of the responsibility to convey the copyright terms. 
     140 
     141@todo provide a list of acceptable copyrights - see OSF - suggest BSD 2 clause. 
     142 
     143==== Semantic Form ==== 
     144 
     145A submission should: 
     146 
     147 * have a self-consistent semantic form (ie. not contradict itself); 
     148 * not be directly comparable to an existing entry. 
     149 
     150=== Recommended Process === 
     151 
     152@todo QMXF -> QXF -> RDF -> IdGen -> triplestore 
     153 
     154=== Submission Format Options === 
    94155 
    95156Three different submission formats are supported, each providing different levels of flexibility.  The more flexible, the greater the responsibility on the submitter for ensuring correctness. 
     
    149210RDF has several different exchange representations: XML, N3 and N-TRIPLE.  All of these formats are acceptable inputs to the submission process.  OWL has an exchange representation of its own: OWLX - this is not currently supported as an acceptable input to the submission process.
