MuDoc FAQ

What does MuDoc do?

• allow content (assets) and its associated metadata and keywords to be submitted, peer reviewed, and ultimately accepted into the digital repository, or rejected
• allow for searching of the repository, by metadata or keywords, and retrieval of content

What are keywords?

• Keywords are named concepts, arranged in a non-hierarchical inclusion relation ('directed acyclic graph'), which are used for submission, search, and role assignments

What are roles?

Possible roles are "editor" and "reviewer". Each keyword may have one or more editors or reviewers associated.

• Editors guide a review process and make a final decision
• Reviewers provide feedback to editors upon request
• Submissions are guided to the most appropriate editor, who then selects the most appropriate reviewers from a list. "Appropriateness" is calculated wholly (for editors) or partly (for reviewers) by the submission's keyword(s).
