Field notes

The directory turns a standards publication into a navigable data model: entries can be searched or browsed by numbered ranges, with separate pages for notation, ontology, documentation, and edition history. Its nine sections cover everything from dates and parties to goods, transport, and customs-related elements. The homepage reports 1,504 elements in the 2005 edition, alongside 461 renamed or changed entries and 853 retired entries, and points to YAML, CSV, and JSON versions for reuse.
