is a stage that contains contents of various kinds that authors can produce even if they have have limited or no technical working knowledge, such as your average business person, lawyer, etc. The kinds of contents that authors may submit would be limited, e.g. to a set of predefined (markdown) document templates, with or without a header construct (as e.g. in Docusaurus). Any submission of a certain kind (template) will be processed according to the mechanisms specified for that template, unless the input cannot be processed (invalid input). The output of such processing typically is content that is added to the CURATE state, but other outputs could be created if that is beneficial.

• for each of such kinds: the criterion for determining whether or not it valid for further processing;
• the specification of such processing, i.e. what parts of the contents go where in the curate stage (or elsewhere).,,,

CURATE

is a stage that contains all sorts of typed, normalized contents. 'Normalized' means that there is no duplication of content, and all content can be identified by a single identifier. 'Typed' means that files may contain different contents, e.g. a description of a concept, the definition of a term, etc.

...

The purpose of curation content is for it to be used in the PRODUCE stage, which means that the structure of each kind of file must be defined such that it is fit for any/all of the purposes that this PRODUCE stage serves. This requirement may impose constraints on the internal structure of the different kinds of files in the corpus.

The CURATE stage should provide mechanisms for obtaining different attributes of the various typed contents for the purpose of creating different renderings. A mechanism could exist that takes `(<attributeid>,<owner>,<type>,<name>,<vsn>)` and returns a text for the referenced item. For example, when <attributeid> is `definition`, the returned text is the definition of the referenced item. Different mechanisms will needed for different rendering purposes. 

A curated file has a header that specifies its owner, type, name and version (there may be a mapping between 'name' and the filename of the file, e.g. filename == 'name'+'_'+'version'), e.g. as:
