define record lifecycle

[pvgenuchten]

at various states of the lifecycle choices need to be made, which require governance be in place

lifecycle changes

• Only via pull requests (review)

Record creation

• are there any quality criteria a record should have (persistent identification, usage constraints (license), contact point)
• are there any topic constraints to be applied (soil data yes, meteorological data no)

Record archival

In principle metadata is not removed from the index if it is removed remotely, because it may break the knowledge graph, instead we tag the resource as archived (and it may be excluded from search results)

Record removal

In some cases records really need to be removed from the index, for example if they cause conflicts, or other inconsistencies.
