Collection of corporate reference data assets

In the following list of corporate reference data assets, the priority is on cross-domain assets, those ones that can be used across all DGs and services. Examples are languages, economic activities, and geo-references.

In cases where there are multiple candidates for a particular type of concept, a dedicated task group will be established to identify the possible reference source and to define the context in which the candidates will be recommended. The existing reference data assets suitable for shared use can be grouped according to the context, i.e. generic, cross-domain, vs. domain-specific contexts, e.g., fisheries.
