This is the data catalogue of 510, an initiative of the Netherlands Red Cross, hosted and maintained by the Data Team of the Netherlands Red Cross.
The Data Team is responsible for supporting the NS in responding timely to humanitarian needs in-country by owning their data products and services for accurate, reliable and targeted decision-making.
Data Service Catalogue is a centralised repository for documenting and organising our data-related services (incl. datasets, databases, APIs, data pipelines, reports, and analytics tools).
Data Service Catalogue serves as an overview of the services that we can provide and sums up requirements for deploying and/or sustaining the service. It can also be used as a guideline in conversations with Information Managers (IM) from the NS when exploring the feasibility of these services.
