Healthsites is a framework for capturing, publishing and sharing critical health and sanitation related data to help make these facilities more accessible and relevant to the communities they serve. Our framework does not limit our endeavours to these domains and in the future we plan to support additional domains where it is helpful in humanitarian work.
For an overview of this project see this Presentation
We use a key value store to provide a conceptual model like this (subject to revision):
In this model:
- A domain defines a domain (e.g. 'clinics')
- The list of properties that can be configured for a particular domain are defined in the attributes table.
- The list of spatial entities that are related to a domain are store in the locality table.
- A value defines the particular state for a given attribute for a single locality.
Please see Data Sources for a comprehensive list of imported data sources.
In order to import data into the data model, you need to provide a conceptual mapping between the source dataset and the Healthsites domain (group) schema.
We are using http://facilityregistry.org/ to guide the development of our healthsite model
