Alternatively, if you don't have the capacity to create or update an IT system, you can consider reusing an existing [data collection tool](build/data_collection_tools). If you're reusing an existing tool, this phase is about customizing that tool to meet your needs and working out how to combine and publish your data.

+ OCDS data can be published in different formats and accessed using different methods. It is best practice to provide data in multiple formats, so that as many users as possible can use the data without first having to transform it to their preferred format. In OCDS terms, this means [publishing both structured JSON data and tabular CSV or spreadsheet data](build/serialization). diff --git a/docs/guidance/design.md b/docs/guidance/design.md index 809dabbc6..827f84e36 100644 --- a/docs/guidance/design.md +++ b/docs/guidance/design.md @@ -1,5 +1,9 @@ # Design +

The mapping phase is one of the longest and most important steps in the implementation process. When starting out, consider working in parallel on the map and build phases, because the choices you make at the build stage might affect how you need to map your data.
