StatusTypeEnum
RIXML 2.5 Enumeration
Defines the publication lifecycle states for research products, encompassing workflow stages from internal development through final distribution. Includes standard publishing states plus specialized values for revision management, content recall, and metadata-only updates.
Usage
Required enumeration for StatusInfo elements, with exactly one status marked as current per product. Used throughout product lifecycle management to track publication workflow states and communicate distribution intentions to consuming systems.
Business Context
Fundamental for research workflow management and distribution control. Enables publishers to manage content through approval processes, handle revisions appropriately, and provide clear signals to distribution platforms about content handling requirements, particularly for timeline placement and re-transmission scenarios.

BackFilled |
| Back Filled |
Previously published research product being retransmitted and inserted into timelines at its original publication date rather than current transmission date Use when re-sending historical research that should maintain its original chronological position in recipient systems [RIXML Research Data Dictionary v2.5.1 p.124] ActiveSince 2.5 |
TagsUpdated |
| Tags Updated |
Research product where only metadata indexing information has been updated without changes to payload files Use when sending updated RIXML tags without retransmitting large payload files, improving transmission efficiency [RIXML Research Data Dictionary v2.5.1 p.124] ActiveSince 2.5 |
RevisedMaterialChange |
| Revised Material Change |

RevisedNoMaterialChange |
| Revised No Material Change |
Research product revision containing only minor changes that should not affect chronological positioning in recipient systems Use when revisions contain only minor corrections or updates that do not warrant timeline prominence [RIXML Research Data Dictionary v2.5.1 p.124] ActiveSince 2.5 |
Examples
<!-- Example usage of StatusTypeEnum enumeration -->
<element type="StatusTypeEnum">Pending</element>Version History
BackFilled, TagsUpdated, RevisedMaterialChange, RevisedNoMaterialChangeBusiness Rules
Products with status type 'Pending' are designated for internal use only and are awaiting approval for release
When using status type 'BackFilled', the product should be inserted into timelines at its original publication date rather than appearing at the current transmission date
Status type 'TagsUpdated' should be used when only updating indexing information without updating payload files to improve transmission efficiency
Publishers should distinguish between material and non-material revisions using 'RevisedMaterialChange' and 'RevisedNoMaterialChange' status types to help platforms make timeline decisions
Publishers should use the TagsUpdated status type when only indexing information in the RIXML file is modified without updating payload files
Publishers should specify whether revisions contain material changes by using RevisedMaterialChange or RevisedNoMaterialChange instead of generic Revised
Design Decisions
Added 'TagsUpdated' enumeration value to StatusTypeEnum to indicate when only indexing information has been updated without changing payload files
Improves transmission efficiency by eliminating unnecessary re-sending of large payload files when only tags change, and explicitly informs receivers not to expect payload file updates to avoid false failures
RIXML Release Notes v2.5, p.6
Added 'RevisedMaterialChange' enumeration value to StatusTypeEnum to explicitly indicate revisions containing at least one material change
Provides platforms with sufficient information to make meaningful decisions about positioning revisions in timelines, distinguishing material from non-material changes
RIXML Release Notes v2.5, p.7
Added 'RevisedNoMaterialChange' enumeration value to StatusTypeEnum to explicitly indicate revisions with no material changes
Provides platforms with sufficient information to make meaningful decisions about positioning revisions in timelines, distinguishing non-material from material changes
RIXML Release Notes v2.5, p.7
Semantic Relationships
Triggers Action1 relationship
When a product replaces another product to correct errors, it effectively causes the earlier product to be recalled or superseded
RIXML Research Data Dictionary v2.5.1, p.96— Replaces
Contrasts With1 relationship
BackFilled status prevents products from appearing at the top of current timelines while Published status allows normal timeline positioning
RIXML Research Data Dictionary v2.5.1, p.124— BackFilled
Blocks Action2 relationships
TagsUpdated status indicates no payload file transmission is expected, preventing unnecessary resource transfers
RIXML Research Data Dictionary v2.5.1, p.124— TagsUpdated
When tags are updated without payload changes, this status prevents unnecessary re-transmission of large payload files
RIXML Release Notes v2.5, p.6— When only the tags are changed, not the payload
Mutually Exclusive With2 relationships
Material and non-material revision statuses distinguish the significance of changes to help platforms make timeline positioning decisions
RIXML Research Data Dictionary v2.5.1, p.124— RevisedMaterialChange
These two status values provide opposite indications about whether material changes occurred in a revision
RIXML Release Notes v2.5, p.7— Need to distinguish revisions with and without material changes
Narrows3 relationships
RevisedMaterialChange provides more specific distinction than the general Revised status for platform timeline management
RIXML Research Data Dictionary v2.5.1, p.124— RevisedMaterialChange
The material change variant provides more specific information than the generic revised status
RIXML Release Notes v2.5, p.7— Need to distinguish revisions with and without material changes
The no-material-change variant provides more specific information than the generic revised status
RIXML Release Notes v2.5, p.7— Need to distinguish revisions with and without material changes
Constrains2 relationships
StatusInfo statusType attribute must take values from StatusTypeEnum enumeration
RIXML Level One Addendum v2.5, p.24— Research.Product.StatusInfo
This enumeration value specifically guides the statusType attribute to indicate metadata-only updates
