French Version
The circulation of data within the information system of the natural heritage inventory (SINP) is standardized by the exchange standards. These make it possible to eliminate a "common language" for the entire network. They facilitate the exchange and circulation of data and metadata between actors, ensure the quality of the information disseminated and facilitate re-use.

From 2023, the SINP will have a data dictionary, which will include the elements (attributes, repositories, nomenclatures) defined in the SINP exchange standards. The data dictionary and the documents presenting the exchange standards are to be used in conjunction to understand and exchange data and their metadata with the SINP.

The SINP's unique identifiers are in UUID format. It is recommended that these identifiers be managed as close as possible to data collection, therefore in source databases when possible.
Producing the identifier as close as possible to the data producer facilitates data traceability and limits the integration of duplicates.
In the event that the unique identifiers have not been created prior to the transmission of the data to a SINP platform, the identifiers will then be created by the platform when they are integrated into the device.
