Over the years DCSA has created and updated the Information Model to organise and catalogue the information being generated or consumed in connection with the processes described in the DCSA Industry Blueprint. The information model is also used as a collective term to describe all products that model data needed to meet the interface requirements. The information model includes a diagrammatic representation of selected data entities and their relationships with one another. The 2024.Q3 version is released September 2024.
