What is the OBIS data schema?
The OBIS schema is a list of data fields with names, descriptions, and format notes. It is an extension to the Darwin Core Version 2 standard. When the OBIS portal sends queries out to its distributed data contributors, the portal will request data using these fields and needs to have data returned using these fields. The DiGIR software provides the programming to turn an OBIS query into a search on your particular database, but in order to install DiGIR you need to “map” the OBIS schema fields to the fields in your database.
