Registration status

Each dataset and common element definition in Data Dictionary goes through a life-cycle. Its phases are marked by Registration status (aka simply status). The Registration status of a dataset or common element definition is specified by the data definers and can be any one of the following:

Released (5 ticks)

The definition is accepted by ETCs and EEA and is released for countries to use for download of technical guidelines and templates.
Definitions in this status can be accessed by countries.

Qualified (4 ticks)

This level is for closing discussions between ETCs and EEA.
Definitions in this status cannot be accessed by countries.

Recorded (3 ticks)

This level is for discussions between ETCs and countries if applicable. Otherwise the definition will skip this status and move directly to the Qualified status.
Definitions in Recorded status can be accessed by countries.

Candidate (2 ticks)

Definitions that are included in the Data Dictionary by the EEA or ETC data managers. This level is for opening discussions between ETCs and EEA.
Definitions in this status cannot be accessed by countries.

Incomplete (1 tick)

This can be existing definitions under consideration to be included in the Data Dictionary or new definitions under development where the Data Dictionary is used as a structuring tool or to test dataflows.
Definitions in this status cannot be accessed by countries.
