Maybe this can be dissected and specified using the figma design as a guide.

Is this equivalent to the Categories page where the standards are defined on this?

Or is this equivalent to the Data Sources page?

If neither, should one be modified?

Where does this data fit in the rule schema?

During the call I (a) did remember that early on circa 2017, I always included reference to the standard whenever a field used a standard; but, (b) I couldn't recall my method of associating the standard with the field. I have now checked a document from 2017, and see that in my data dictionary I just maintained an optional column for the designer to specify a standard if on was being use for a field.

There are two roles that would identify standards: the RuleMaker application developer; and the rulemaker_author . I'll address those separately:

Identification of Standards by the RuleMaker Application Developer¶

I notice that in my rule.dwd_SAMPLE.json example from the specification (aka "the dissertation") this whole problem is already solved for the application developer. In the excerpt below look at the five locations where (here) I have added the pointer "<<< STANDARD IDENTIFIED" (only for the purpose of this task entry, not as part of the JSON)

]

I notice that there's one use of a standard that's missing the reference:

{
"entity_id": "Yjs73-j&js74jdsi",
"entity_name_eng": "Xalgorithms Foundation",
"entity_url": "https://www.xalgorithms.org"
}

So it should be amended as follows:

{
"entity_id_standard_url": "https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4122",
"entity_id": "Yjs73-j&js74jdsi",
"entity_name_eng": "Xalgorithms Foundation",
"entity_url": "https://www.xalgorithms.org"
}

Please let me know if this method and style seems optimal for the RuleMaker application developer role.

Identification of Standards by the rulemaker_author¶

If my method above, or something like it, is suitable, then can we create a similar approach for any standard that a rule_author may want to cite because they are using it in one or more fields of one or more sentences? I am not sure, but maybe it could borrow some of the design thinking Don and I did last year on how to do inline calls to lookup tables: https://gitlab.com/-/snippets/2145557
