Previous: Extrinsic Policy
The HPF www-home page will have instructions for submission of an
extrinsic interface. For HPFF consideration,
the sponsor prepares a proposal that includes:
- a statement of what significant new functionality is provided,
- a description of existing practice,
- a statement of institutional backing with evidence of ongoing support,
- a copy of the complete documentation or a reference to an
online version of the documentation,
- a draft of the text (described above) that would be included in
the HPFF documentation, and
- a statement justifying the claim that the interface follows HPF
conventions for calling extrinsics.
If the proposed extrinsic interface is approved
by HPFF, the sponsor then submits:
- a formal statement for HPFF records that the interface definition is
non-proprietary and that the copyright of the
interface belongs to HPFF,
- the formal contact for CCI and continued maintenance of the interface,
and
- a copy of the interface documentation formatted for HPFF use, including
a copy in the current document and web mark-up languages.
