CD2: course workflow states

Question

Now that I have some CD2 data, I'm trying to understand it.

Maybe this is old hat to the CD1 folk.  But as I look at the Courses workflow_state they seem to be different than the API workflow_state

API

* available
* completed
* deleted
* unpublished

CD2

* available
* created
* claimed
* completed
* deleted
*

Is there a mapping of workflow states, e.g., available (API)  = available (CD1/CD2) ?

TIA

I believe "claimed" means unpublished, but there is an instructor in the course, while "created" is also unpublished, but there is no instructor in the course. A quick way to check this is to also get a section count for a course, and if there are 0 sections, there won't be an instructor, if I remember right. Canvas data may show a section count of 1 and created at times, but if you then look at the course or use the API, there'll be no sections. Since Canvas data is always behind, I use the API for any discrepancies.

Note: this is using CD1

Seems both claimed/created == unpublished?  If so, what's the distinction between claimed and created?
