VIDS Profiles (v1.0)¶

VIDS defines two compliance profiles declared in .vids: poc and full.

POC profile¶

POC is intended for quick prototypes and pilot deliveries and enforces structure, imaging, and annotation/provenance rules.

Validator coverage: S001–S006, I001–I004, A001–A005 (15 checks).

Full is intended for production, publications, and regulatory workflows, and adds required quality documentation and ML splits.

Validator coverage: all 21 checks, including Q001–Q003 and M001–M002.
