Proposed CIPR data architecture
Internal databank categories
The categories below are an organisational proposal based on CIPR's service areas, not confirmation that every dataset already exists.
01
Electoral trends & constituency research bank
Proposed internal category for authorised election results, aggregate constituency trends and field research.
02
Demographic & social indicators bank
Proposed category for aggregate demographic and socioeconomic indicators.
03
Public policy & governance bank
Proposed category for policy documents, programme indicators and institutional research.
04
Media & public discourse bank
Proposed category for permitted public-source research and narrative analysis.
05
GIS & geospatial research bank
Proposed category for approved boundaries, public facilities and aggregate spatial indicators.
06
Research publications repository
Proposed category for reports, working papers, methods notes and bibliographies.
Data governance: record source, licence, collection date, update cadence, quality limitations, access classification, retention schedule and lawful-use basis for every dataset. Do not publish personal or confidential records without appropriate authority and safeguards.
