Participating organizations.

A clear record of organizations taking part in documented CODARIS work.

The directory is not open and has no active listings. A future entry would describe the relationship and its scope so readers can distinguish participation from a mention, endorsement or one-off conversation.

Discuss participation

A USEFUL PUBLIC RECORD

Specific enough to verify.

Any future directory format will need to make the relationship understandable without overstating what it means.

Name the relationship

Distinguish a technical participant from a funder, infrastructure provider, collaborator or other supporter. These roles are not interchangeable.

Set its boundaries

Describe the relevant initiative or contribution area and whether the relationship is proposed, active, completed or ended.

Keep the record current

Include dates or status information so a past contribution is not mistaken for an active relationship.

Separate facts from claims

A listing would record participation only. It would not imply that CODARIS endorses an organization or its products.
