Workflow
The workflow for both Vocabularies and Extensions within this site is made up of 5 states.
(creation)
The item has just been created - it never stays in this state, so it immediately moves into the next state, draft.
draft
This is a very fluid time within a Vocabulary / Extension - lots can change without notice.
review
Concepts can still be added to vocabulaires. Current concepts definitions and associated data should be able to change but the identifiers should remain stable.
published
Terms can still be added to concepts, but concept definitions and identifiers remain constant. Concepts can still be added to vocabularies.
deprecated
The vocabulary or extension still exists but has potentially been replaced by a more up to date one.
