This repository contains common schemas related to permitting in the Natural Resources and includes other artifacts developed for permitting modernization initiative. Leveraging common schemas will enable consistency, cross sector governance, identify patterns and opportunities and allow reporting and analytics to feed into decision making.

Purpose

The common specifications are to

• create cross sector data governance
• feed intelligence to the sector

• moving towards harmonized statuses
• activity-based permit bundling
• and application process tracking

• enable consistent collection of data and metadata
• leverage for an integrated data schema for reporting and analytics
• identify opportunities on data quality, data visualizations, and gaps
• develops data patterns and guidelines
• develop common schema patterns for other areas like First Nations Consultation
