4.2. - SD-Sch-F-05 Test with a Schema S’ that invalidates a Self-Description in the Catalogue

Once having accepted the submission of a Schema S’ or executing the deletion of a Schema S’, the Federated Catalogue MUST validate (by applying SD-V-V-03) each Self-Description in the Catalogue that uses terms from S’ according to SD-S-F-04. If S’ deprecates a previous Schema S according to SD-Sch-F-04, the Federated Catalogue MUST also validate any additional Self-Descriptions (if any) that use terms from S. Self-Descriptions that fail the validation MUST be flagged invalid, e.g., via a respective Administrative Metadata field for internal purposes.

Test with a Schema S’ that invalidates a Self-Description in the Catalogue

This can be a time-consuming procedure which cannot be done synchronously at a time of new Schema submission. We should think about an asynchronous mechanism for validation of SDs affected by Schema change. How should we present results of such asynchronous job?
