The system consists of a few basic entities...

  • A Dataset is a collection of resources. Datasets are categorized into topics, and belong to an organisation.
  • An Organisation is a government entity that owns the data that it publishes. Organisations have managers who are responsible for maintaining the datasets and resources.
  • A Topic is a classification mechanism to tag datasets into thematic areas. This allows users to find related datasets. A dataset can belong to multiple topics.

In addition, a resource can be of a Format, while a dataset is released under a License. Organisation's managers are Staff users who have access to Admin for editing and managing content.
