Adam could not attend but sent an email with his updates. The JSON schema specification has been encoded and in the repository. Instructions in Python on how to use this have been provided. The next step is to implement some javascript to require that any data sent to the database conforms to this schema. The best way to accomplish this, to ensure that absolutely any data sent to the database follows our specification, would be to implement this in the _design doc's 'validate_doc_function'. Cloudant recently implemented support for CommonJS, which means that we can import modules, such as JSV (
https://github.com/garycourt/JSV) into the valdate_doc_function and use it to ensure that all docs follow the schema.
