What is CIVITAS/CORE?

CIVITAS/CORE is a Platform for integrating, structuring, managing, and providing data in a governed environment.

It enables you to integrate data from different sources, define and manage Data structures, build Pipelines, control access and permissions, and make DatasetDatasetA data-related element that contains processed data and makes it available for consumption. A Dataset is populated via Pipelines and carries Metadata and access permissions. Payload available through APIs.

CIVITAS/CORE combines Data structures, Pipelines, APIs, and governance processes to ensure that data is consistent, documented, and accessible across your organization.

As a flexible and extensible foundation, CIVITAS/CORE can be adapted to the specific needs of a city or region. It serves as the core on which tailored urban data Platforms can be built and extended over time.

How data is organized in the Platform​

Data in CIVITAS/CORE is organized using several core building blocks:

  • Data sourcesData sourceA data-related element that represents the origin of data. It defines how data is connected, accessed, and ingested into the Platform, such as an external database or sensor network. represent where data originates from
  • Data structures define the schema and structure of the data
  • DatasetsDatasetA data-related element that contains processed data and makes it available for consumption. A Dataset is populated via Pipelines and carries Metadata and access permissions. act as containers that organize base information, pipelines, and access permissions
  • Pipelines load, transform, and store data
  • APIs provide access to the DatasetDatasetA data-related element that contains processed data and makes it available for consumption. A Dataset is populated via Pipelines and carries Metadata and access permissions. Payload
  • Data poolsData poolA governed, centralized collection of Datasets that are managed together within the Platform. It provides a shared place to organize, discover, and access data, including associated metadata, ownership, and access permissions. With Data pools users can cluster their Datasets according to their organizational structure (e.g., by Departments, Offices). organize related DatasetsDatasetA data-related element that contains processed data and makes it available for consumption. A Dataset is populated via Pipelines and carries Metadata and access permissions. and provide an additional scope for access management
