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 currently under development. Authors assess the content and incorporate it into their data collection instruments where it fits. In some cases an older or different piece of content must be used in a data collection instrument. When that happens, the author provides a business justification to the publisher to explain the continued use of non-preferred content.
