Welcome to the DHLGH Metadata Registry. The registry is a repository that organises, manages, and maintains metadata (data about data) in a controlled manner.

It is an action from our Data Strategy aligned to Goal 1: Establish data governance, classifications, and standards.

The Metadata Registry currently contains draft metadata related to Housing. See below.

Our ambition is for additional metadata to be added to Housing and other areas over time.
