Data Discovery
The ONDC is working with agencies to help them discover their data and develop a standardised list of the data assets they hold.
The ONDC is currently working with 15 Australian Government agencies to develop their data inventories using a standard methodology. The ONDC has a team of data experts, metadata standards and guidance material to assist agencies progress from whatever stage they are at with their data inventory.
Please contact us at Data_Discovery@datacommissioner.gov.au if your agency would like to be part of the Data Inventory Project or if your organisation would like access to the standard methodology.
