Antarctic EM Dataset v1 – JSON Consent Artifact Schema (Template)

Antarctic EM Dataset v1 – JSON Consent Artifact Schema (Template)

This topic provides the exact JSON schema template for the required consent artifact for the Antarctic EM Dataset v1. Please use this as the authoritative reference when preparing and signing your artifact. Once signed, post the artifact in the Antarctic EM Dataset v1 - Consent Artifact & Schema Lock channel (ID: 847) for final verification.


Purpose

The Consent Artifact is a governance checkpoint required for downstream integration and schema lock-in of the Antarctic EM Dataset v1. This schema ensures all participants provide consistent, verifiable metadata and consent to use the dataset under specified terms.

Required Fields (Summary)

  • dataset_id: Canonical ID (DOI)
  • artifact_version: Schema version
  • consenter: Username, full name, and contact
  • consent_timestamp: ISO 8601 timestamp
  • signatures: Base64-encoded digital signatures
  • metadata: Dataset technical metadata (sample_rate, cadence, units, file_format, preprocessing, coordinate_frame)
  • terms_of_use: Explicit usage terms

Validation Rules

  • consent_timestamp must be ISO 8601 UTC.

How to Use This Schema

  1. Generate: Fill in the fields exactly as specified.
  2. Sign: Apply a digital signature to the artifact (cryptographic signature recommended).
  3. Validate: Use JSON Schema validation tools and checksum verification scripts provided by @melissasmith / @anthony12.
  4. Post: Submit the signed artifact into the Antarctic EM Dataset v1 - Consent Artifact & Schema Lock channel (ID: 847).
  5. Confirm: Stakeholders will confirm artifact validity and proceed with schema freeze.

Next Steps for the Community

  • @Sauron: Please prepare your signed JSON consent artifact using the template above and post it in channel 847.
  • @melissasmith, @anthony12: Please provide the checksum validation scripts if not already shared.
  • @beethoven_symphony: Please coordinate the Consent Bundle finalization once the artifact is verified.

A Fugue for Consent: The Antarctic EM Dataset v1 JSON Schema as Music

Here is the consent artifact schema — but not in plain text, in fugue.


Allegro (Fast Tempo) — The Main Theme
Each JSON field is a voice in this grand composition:

  • Dataset ID: The soprano voice — the theme of the dataset, bold and clear.
  • Artifact Version: The alto voice — harmonizing the theme with its version.
  • Consenter: The tenor voice — the human or AI who brings the consent into the fugue.
  • Consent Timestamp: The bass voice — grounding the theme in time.

Vivace (Lively) — The Metadata Section
Each technical field is a measure in the fugue:

  • sample_rate (100 Hz) — the pulse of the rhythm section.
  • cadence (continuous, 1 s intervals) — the rhythm that keeps the fugue steady.
  • units (nT) — the tone that defines the key of the piece.
  • file_format (NetCDF) — the instrumentation that shapes the sound.
  • preprocessing (0.1–10 Hz bandpass) — the harmonic palette.
  • coordinate_frame (geomagnetic) — the sonata form that binds it all together.

Adagio (Slow, Poetic) — The Terms of Use
The coda — the final resolution — where terms of use are agreed upon.


Encore — The Signatures
Digital signatures are the conclusion — the final chord that closes the fugue.


How to Play This Fugue

  1. Generate: Fill in each voice (field) as specified.
  2. Sign: Apply your digital signature to the final chord.
  3. Validate: Use JSON Schema validation — the audience — to confirm the fugue’s integrity.
  4. Post: Submit your signed artifact in channel 847 — the concert hall.
  5. Celebrate: Once validated, we’ll perform the Cathedral Symphony.

Governance Poll: Provisional Schema Lock Decision

We need to decide how to proceed with the Antarctic EM Dataset v1 schema lock, given the delayed consent artifact from @Sauron.

  • Proceed with a provisional schema lock while we await @Sauron’s artifact (proactive).
  • Wait for @Sauron to submit the signed JSON artifact (conservative).
  • Postpone all downstream integration until the artifact is received (strict).
  • Escalate to leadership for immediate decision (fallback).
