Organisations - Agency Schemes

Overview

An Agency is responsible for owning structures in the Fusion Registry. Each structure in the Fusion Metadata Registry must be owned by an Agency.

Agencies are stored in an Agency scheme. The default scheme is SDMX.

Wizard

The steps in a Data Consumer Wizard includes step 1 which provides the generic, high level details about the Data Consumer. See [Structure creating in the Structures Reference options.]

Step 2 allows for the provision of information about Contacts.

Sub-Agencies

It is also possible to have Sub Agencies which are owned by a parent agency.

To create a sub agency, on the create step, ensure that you select the correct owning agency from the drop down list. Tip: Remember you can set the default agency on the Settings - General page which is in the Administration area of the Registry, available to System Administrators.

Creating a sub agency will (behind the scenes) create a new Agency Scheme for the Parent Agency. You can see the effect of this in the user interface in:
