IDN Agents Database

The Indigenous Data Network's Agents Database is a collection of people and organisations (or "agents") related to metadata in the IDN's catalogue. This collection includes IDN partners, universities, government organisations and researchers.

This database of people and organisations is used to link metadata and datasets to relevant "agents" who might be responsible for the data, such as who published it, who is the maintainer, who is the contact point, etc. The IDN's catalogue uses this collection of agents to link people and organisations to the metadata in the catalogue. The IDN's Metadata Entry Tool also uses this database of agents to refer to people and organisations for creating metadata.
