Browse, Lookup and Search Structures

There are three different ways to find structures in the Registry which are:

  • Browse Registry allows the user to view all of the available structures, broken down by structure type, and maintenance agency.
  • Lookup Structure allows users to find structures that reference other structures. For example look-up ‘Data Structure by Codelist’ enables the user to navigate to a particular codelist, and then discover which Data Structures reference the Codelists.
  • Search Structure provides a free-text search for structures.
