Survey of code lists for the data model’s coded dimensions

Data structure definitions for public budgets and spending data will include dimensions that restrict their values to codes drawn from prescribed controlled vocabularies. For each dimension expressed as coded property, relevant code lists available for reuse will be surveyed. The adopted selection criteria will prefer code lists published by standardisation bodies, so that their stability is ensured, and emphasize those that are widely adopted. Preference will be given to code lists available in RDF and described using SKOS. Reuse will be restricted to code lists available under open licence. The survey will be done mainly using data catalogues, such as the EU Open Data Portal (http://open-data.europa.eu/) or PublicData.eu (http://publicdata.eu/).
