Presentation of DIAL catalog

@Sarah Farooqi @Steve Conrad

 

@Sarah Farooqi and @Steve Conrad circulate the presentation and set up meeting for deep dive. Questions:

  • How is this different to other repositories in the ecosystem? We continue to work very closely with DPGA, WHO Digital Health Atlas, IADB, and have connected with others such as UNDP’s Digital X and other initiatives. We have consensus and agreement with different initiatives that all of the repositories are complementary and not competitive – and as a “Catalog of catalogs” we are simply aggregating relevant information and keeping it consistent with the language of our framework. We recognize that we need to do work to clarify the unique value proposition of the many initiatives, and hope to tackle this together in the new year.

  • How can we do make sure that we don’t give the impression that DIAL is endorsing these products? From our perspective, we have worked to present the data traceability of all content. If any entry in the data is endorsed, maintained, or promoted by any of our source organizations, we display that information within the Catalog. This allows the platform to remain neutral but also expose relevant endorsements or accreditations. Any mappings we are doing ourselves as stated as “beta”.

  • How will we do the compliance? We will work with the GovStack testing team and can show compliance of different products to various building blocks that are measured by the automated testing process (as well as any other processes that are developed by Nico and the compliance team). We have started having the discussion on how we can automate information or evaluations as documented here and here. This is going to be the topic for our next reference group meeting as well. Please let me know if you would like to take part in this discussion and we can extend the invitation to anyone from this group who would be interested in joining.

  • Partnerships/linkages – as part of our platform restructuring, the Catalog will look very different with a new branding and landing page. The architecture also allows for white labeling – in case other actors want to host their own instances of all or partial data powered by the global platform.
