The document discusses a local government initiative called esd that aims to improve public services by facilitating data sharing and reporting across neighborhoods. It provides an overview of the esd-toolkit and LG Inform Plus platform, which allows users to access and analyze neighborhood-level metrics and build custom reports. The presentation also covers esd data standards, natural neighborhood definitions, and how the organization's standards can support open data initiatives and inventory aggregation.

– Indexes dataset against Functions and Services Lists
– Allows dataset definitions to be shared
– Definitions support URIs
• data.gov.uk automatically harvesting from inventories
• esd-standards
– Functions and Services Lists
– URI sets (inc lists and neighbourhoods)
– Tools for inventories and shared definitions
