To assist in working with these sheets:
• Since the crosswalk is sparse, the column headings indicate the number of mapped terms from the given source.
• There are filter views on the OCDS schema and OCDS codelists sheets. Click the down arrow next to the Filter icon, and select a filter view, which filters the rows to those that are mapped from the selected source.

GlossaryThe crosswalk glossary, with, in columns B, C and D the concepts that have been added, their current definition and the source of the definition. This list has been established from the OCDS schema and may be extended with relevant concepts from other sources.

The other columns are alternative terms and definitions for the same concept, extracted from reference sources. For certain concepts from the OCDS schema, the definition has not been preserved as it was too OCP-oriented.

OCDS schemaAll the OCDS 1.1 schema fields, with the corresponding terms and definitions in other glossaries.
