VSAC Author and Steward Roles

• Authors and stewards work collaboratively as two groups to create, approve, publish, and maintain value sets.
• Authors create and edit value sets. They subsequently submit value sets for approval by their steward.
• Stewards review, approve, and publish their authors' submitted value sets.
• VSAC expects stewards to continue maintenance of their value sets, as terminology, science, and program needs change over time.
• Author groups and steward groups may contain one or more members.
• Value set creators may choose to act as both their own author and their own steward.
