COD-PS Required Characteristics (minimum requirements in red)

Metadata

  • Source organization must be clearly identified, and acceptable for humanitarian use
  • Population data are endorsed by IM Network
  • The dataset must be able to be shared (at least once at the onset stage of an emergency)
  • P-codes from COD-PS match COD-AB (tables can link 1:1)

Tabular Attributes

  • Field names are clear and understandable
  • Field names used consistently across all Admin layers
  • Population breakdown exists for sex and age for each administrative unit (with sex disaggregation for every age cohort)
  • All values must be integers.
  • All values must be present
  • Sum of data matches the value of higher admin level
  • Data is checked for inconsistencies
  • Data is checked for outliers
  • P-codes are the unique identifiers used in the country (ideally government sourced)
  • P-codes are present and unique for each administrative unit
  • P-code attribution is consistent across all layers
  • P-codes for higher-level administrative units are included in lower levels
  • P-codes and feature names (and therefore feature counts) should conform to established and accepted administrative boundary datasets (COD-AB) - however, it may be that the COD-PS is the more reliable authority.
