How Implemented
|
|
Tag information and people's interests in particular lines of busisness and match them to one another using LGDL.
esd-toolkit provides a starting 'tree' structure for new organisations based on the LGDL branches applicable for the organisation's type (as defined by LGAtL). Services relevant to each department are shown from cross-references to LGSL. Organisations can then modify the organisational structure and re-name branches so that they can access service information according to their own departmental strucure.
