Does a data provider have to fully populate the data representation model to generate a transmittal?
No, a data provider does not have to fully populate the data representation model (DRM). There is no mandatory “completeness of coverage” requirement that SEDRIS puts on data providers. While data providers may limit the information they wish to share in a transmittal, the SEDRIS DRM provides the capability to describe a completely integrated environment. The more data and their relationships included by a provider, the more useful the transmittal will be to the community.
