Field notes
The project turns the 2005 UN Trade Data Elements Directory into a linked, inspectable dataset rather than leaving it as a static standards publication. Its entries retain source-page references and change metadata, while the site also maps elements onto document systems including UNLK, SAD, MAR, and CIMP. Downloads are offered in YAML, CSV, and JSON, and the ontology can be retrieved as Turtle or JSON-LD.
