Documents can be registered by OFF and kept in WIPO DAS
The following diagram describes the exchange flows for registration and retrieval of documents hosted in WIPO DAS by notification to OSF
Figure A: Notification of document availability
Exchange flow to register document
- (1a) - OFF requests a presigned url from WIPO DAS to upload a file identified by a file id (i.e. POST /das/v1/requests/files/url-uploads)
- (1b) - OFF uploads the document file content using a presigned url given in step (step 1a)
- (1c) - OFF requests document registration to WIPO DAS by referring to the uploaded file content by the corresponding file id (i.e. POST /das/v1/requests/registrations)
Exchange flow to correct filing date or parent application details in which the foreign priority document is held
- (1c) - OFF requests document registration to WIPO DAS by specifying the new document attributes (i.e. PUT /das/v1/requests/registrations)
Exchange flow to replace document content for correction purpose
- (1a) - OFF requests a presigned url from WIPO DAS to upload a file identified by a file id (i.e. POST /das/v1/requests/files/url-uploads)
- (1b) - OFF uploads the corrected document file content using a presigned url given in step (1a)
- (1c) - OFF requests document registration to WIPO DAS by referring to the uploaded file content by the corresponding file id (i.e. PUT /das/v1/requests/registrations)
Exchange flow to retrieve document hosted in WIPO DAS
- (2a) - OSF sends a document retrieval request to WIPO DAS and receives a request acknowledgement id (i.e. POST /das/v1/requests/retrievals)
- (2b) - WIPO DAS prepares the requested document for download and notifies the OSF of the document availability (i.e. Figure A) by referring to the request acknowledgement id returned in step (2a) (i.e. POST /das/v1/requests/notifications)
Note: Alternatively , OSF may use the check status (i.e. Figure B) to download the document content when it is reported as available by WIPO DAS (i.e. GET /das/v1/requests/retrievals/statuses) - (2c) - OSF retrieves file location URL from WIPO DAS to download the document file content (i.e. GET /das/v1/requests/url-downloads). Downloads can be repeated while the requested document is not deleted from WIPO DAS
- (2d) - OSF downloads file from WIPO DAS
- (2e) - Optionally OSF deletes the download files from the DAS transit zone (i.e. DELETE /das/v1/requests/files)
The following diagram describes the exchange flows for registration and retrieval of documents hosted in WIPO DAS and the OSF checking on regular basis statuses of retrievals requests
Figure B: OSF checking document availability
Documents registered and kept in the OFF digital library
The following diagram describes the exchange flows for registration and retrieval of documents hosted in OFF
Exchange flow to retrieve document from the OFF digital library
- OSF sends a document retrieval request to WIPO DAS and receives a request acknowledgement id issued by WIPO DAS (i.e. POST /das/v1/requests/retrievals)
- WIPO DAS forwards the retrieval request to the OFF (i.e. POST /das/v1/requests/retrievals)
- OFF prepares the requested document for download and notify WIPO DAS of the document availability by referring to the request acknowledgement id returned by WIPO DAS (i.e. POST /das/v1/requests/notifications)
- WIPO DAS retrieves the file location URL based on (i.e. GET /das/v1/requests/files/url-downloads)
- WIPO DAS download the document file content from OFF
- WIPO DAS prepares the requested document for download by OSF and notifies the OSF of the document availability by referring to the request acknowledgement id returned in step 1 (i.e. POST /das/v1/requests/notifications)
- OSF retrieves the file location URL for document download by referring to the request acknowledgement id returned in step 1 (i.e. GET /das/v1/requests/files/url-downloads)
- OSF uses the given file location URL obtained in step 7 to download the document file content
- Optionally OSF deletes the download files from the DAS transit zone (i.e. DELETE /das/v1/requests/files)
Note: if OSF does not delete the downloaded file, WIPO DAS will delete it after a pre-defined period (e.g. 1 week)
Documents can be registered by OFF using WIPO DAS as transit zone to exchange big-sized documents
The following diagram describes the exchange flows for registration and retrieval of documents hosted in OFF but big-sized documents can be transmitted through the DAS transit zone
Exchange flow to retrieve document transmitted by OFF to WIPO DAS transit zone
- OSF sends a document retrieval request to WIPO DAS and receives a request acknowledgement id issued by WIPO DAS (i.e. POST /das/v1/requests/retrievals)
- WIPO DAS forwards the retrieval request to the OFF and receives a request acknowledgement id issued by OFF (i.e. POST /das/v1/requests/retrievals)
- OFF requests a presigned url from WIPO DAS to upload a file and receives the file id from WIPO DAS (i.e. POST /das/v1/requests/url-uploads)
- OFF uploads the requested document file content into DAS transit zone using a presigned url given in step 3
- OFF notifies WIPO DAS of the document availability by referring to the request acknowledgement id returned in step 2 (i.e. POST /das/v1/requests/notifications)
- WIPO DAS prepares the requested document for download by OSF and notifies the OSF of the document availability by referring to the request acknowledgement id returned in step 1 (i.e. POST /das/v1/requests/notifications)
- OSF retrieves the file location URL to download the document file content by referring to the request acknowledgement id returned in step 1 (i.e. GET /das/v1/requests/files/url-downloads)
- OSF downloads the file using the URL obtained in step 8
- Optionally OSF deletes the download file from the DAS transit zone (i.e. DELETE /das/v1/requests/files)
