Identity

An Data Provider Scheme is given the identity DATA_PROVIDER prefixed by the Identifier of the owning Agency. For example, GOT:DATA_PROVIDER would refer to the container for all Data Providers owned by the Agency GOT.

If a Sub Agency existed with for example the ID of 'WEST', the Data Provider Scheme would be named GOT.WEST:DATA_PROVIDER, if Data Provider had been created for the Sub Agency.

You can seem more examples and information on Identities in this article.

Content

The act of creating a Data Provider brings into existence the Data Provider Scheme for the owning Agency. The content of the scheme is therefore all the Data Providers owned by the Agency.
