Structural metadata

From v1.3, indicator data structure definitions (DSDs) and codelists are maintained in a site-wide registry. An indicator project binds to one data structure from the registry; observation data are imported and validated against that binding.

This section covers the registry. To attach a structure to a project and import data, see Documenting indicators.

In this section

1. Managing codelists — Create and maintain standard controlled vocabularies.
2. Managing data structures — Define DSD components; create structures from scratch or from a CSV file.

After a data structure exists in the registry, attach it to an indicator project and import observation data.
