Lorne Becker and Anna Last are at present responsible for any vocabulary requests (adding, merging or editing terms in our Cochrane vocabulary). When you have submitted any request, via the form which is available in your Group space in Confluence, they are automatically logged in JIRA and Lorne and Anna will take it from there.


Workflow process

  1. Requests are logged on JIRA via request form available on each CRG space in Confluence
  2. Anna or Lorne will deal with the requests, consulting with the requestor as required, updating the vocabulary and JIRA ticket as necessary. 
  3. When resolved the Resolved Vocabulary Issues table (available in each Group space) will log the change in status to DONE (NB If you wish to see what has changed recently, this table can be sorted by clicking on the Updated table heading)
