Mock-ups
Chapters 4 Exclusion Criteria and 5. Selection Criteria describe in detail the different types of exclusion and selection criteria defined and used in the ESPD-EDM. By type of criterion we refer to criteria that share common characteristics, namely how they are structured. Each type of criterion is presented from three perspectives:
-
Layout and functional: Mock-ups are provided to explain which data are expected and, to some extent, how software applications should behave (what to show/hide, validate or process depending on variables like 'what the user answers' or 'which is the role of the user'). Mock-ups are provided for both the buyer and economic operator perspectives;
-
Structural: a spread-sheet books is provided with this document aimed to explain how each type of criterion is organised (the book contains different sheets (tabs). Each 'tab' shows the structure of one type of criterion (e.g. 'EG-Convictions', 'EG-Contributions', …, 'SC-Suitability', 'SC_References', etc.; where 'EG' stands for 'Exclusion Grounds', and 'SC' stands for 'Selection Criteria').

XML Implementation: Each mock-up (or pair of Buyer + EO mock-ups) represent the structure represented in the data structure spread-sheet and in the supplied XML example. Whilst the mock-up and XML example are quite self-explanatory, to understand the value of the data structure spread-sheet needs to be explained; which is the mission of this very next sub-section below.
