How do I implement the RDLS?

To implement the Risk Data Library Standard (RDLS), you need to create RDLS metadata to describe your risk datasets and publish it alongside the datasets. You can either author metadata from scratch using the RDLS Metadata Editor, or develop a data pipeline to transform existing metadata to RDLS format.

For step-by-step instructions on how to publish RDLS metadata, see the guidance on how to publish RDLS metadata.

In addition to the metadata standard, the RDLS provides guidance on packaging and formatting risk datasets, although it does not seek to standardise the contents of risk datasets.

If you have questions about the RDLS or need help implementing it, you can contact a member of the Risk Data Library team.
