I'm
working with humanitarian organizations that do a lot of data collection in the
field. There is a tremendous amount of redundancy of data collection
(surveys etc.) across different organizations and units because they don't have
common data standards. I would like to help them create a shared schema
for common data such as nutrition and health data. I would be grateful if
anyone has any advice or can direct me to resources that describe how to go
about this. Intuitively I imagine that there is a process whereby a user
group is formed to develop an agreed set of schema definitions for the
data. Some advice on how to design these schema definitions would be
great.
Thanks,
Fraser
