Data Repository Config

Once you have your data repository, you can edit parts of the ocdsadditions.json file to configure the site.

There should be a config key which is an object.

Publisher, License and Publication Policy

Under config add a package key, which is an object with the following keys:

• Add a publisher key, which is a object.

• Add a license key, which is a string.

• Add a publicationPolicy key, which is a string.

The contents are defined in the OCDS Standard.

These are used when creating a new empty release - they are automatically set in the package for you.

Party

Under config add a party key, which is an object with the following keys:

• Add a name key, which is a string. The contents are defined in the OCDS Standard.

• Add a identifier key, which is a object. The object is defined in the OCDS Standard.

• Add a additionalIdentifiers key, which is a list of objects. The objects are defined in the OCDS Standard.

• Add a address key, which is a object. The contents are defined in the OCDS Standard.

• Add a contactPoint key, which is a object. The contents are defined in the OCDS Standard.

Inserting Party to empty releases

Under config add a add_party_to_our_releases_with_party_id key, which is a string.

If party and this is set, when you make a new empty release the party data is automatically added for you.

Example

After adding the above, you may have an ocdsadditions.json that looks like:

{
    "config": {
        "package": {
            "publisher": {
                "name": "Example Co-op",

            },
            "publicationPolicy": "https://www.example.coop/publication-policy",
            "license": "https://www.example.coop/data-license"
