(Meta-) Address & Data Classes
Five (5) classes (or categories) are defined:• Address (organisation and employees)• Document (report, country profile, publication etc)• Datasets• Map (GIS system/service)• Project
Each class/category is indexed by the thesaurus, have a defined set of mandatory and optional fields (e.g. title, abstract, description, URL, coordinates, etc) corresponding to the GELOS element set.
Every data class is linked to a person within an institution. Data classes may also be link to other data classes (e.g. a project linked to output documents)
