The implementation process involves three user roles (designated with an asterisk in the figure) within the SDP-V Service: the administrator/curator, publishers, and authors. Once SMaHSC votes on the "preferred" designation, the first step for the implementation is for the curator to identify the content in the SDP Vocabulary Service. If the content has not been created, it is developed and added to the service. Once the content is in the service, it is marked “preferred” by the curator. The administrator or curator submits information on the newly tagged "preferred" content for the “What’s New” tab in the SDP Vocabulary Service to the SDP-V Development Team. Adding this information to the service will highlight the designation to users.
Additional harmonization opportunities are identified by the administrator or curator, who searches the SDP Vocabulary Service for content similar to the newly designated "preferred" content. If similar content is located, the administrator or curator notifies the program publishers of the harmonization opportunity. The program publishers promote the "preferred" content during the next tool revision cycle. They encourage authors to review the content for potential applicability to the data collection instruments they are currently developing. Authors assess the content and incorporate it into their development projects where it fits.In In some cases an older or different piece of content must be used in a data collection instrument. When that happens, the author files a business justification with the publisher to explain the continued use of non-preferred content.
