## Description

This initiative is the building block to support the data discovery via metadata which is available across the system including the ICSs\. The metadata catalogue will be an online cloud-based product where users could upload metadata and this metadata is available for other users to consume\. This will enable users to utilise the data which is already available in the NHS for purposes of providing better clinical care, improving service, better care coordination and research\. NHSE has created the experimental version of the Metadata catalogue and we now wish to support the implementation of the tool across the 3 Integrated Care System \(ICS\) footprint to enable system wide improved access to Metadata\. The metadata catalogue must support the W3C DCAT standard\. The Data Architecture commitments of the draft data strategy are that, a Chief Technology Officer, technical architect, commissioner, provider or standards lead, will: • develop the data orchestration layer and metadata catalogue which allows the data discovery and data flows supported by the APIs across the data sources in the health and social care system Please apply here https://health-family\.force\.com/s/Welcome
