Part 4: AIRS Standards on Resource Databases (An
Overview for Database Curators)CORRECT
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria - ANSWER The I&R service develops criteria for the inclusion or exclusion of
human services agencies and programs in the resource database. The criteria address the human
services needs of all groups in the community served by the I&R service, may include government,
nonprofit and relevant for-profit organizations as well as entities such as support groups that may not be
incorporated, and are uniformly applied and publicly available so that all users are aware of the scope
and limitations of the database.
Data Structure and Data Elements - ANSWER The resource database contains data elements that provide
information about organizations that meet criteria for inclusion, the services provided by each
organization, and the locations where those services are available. Each resource database record has a
resource profile that contains all mandatory data elements, where applicable (e.g., a mailing address is
included only if one exists). However, the specific data elements that are seen by a particular group of
users (e.g., resource database curators, community resource specialists, the general public) may vary.
Note that 'data elements' are not intended to be equivalent to 'fields' within the context of software
structure. Multiple data elements may be handled within a single field depending on the design of the
software. Together, these form the data structure.
Database Quality Assurance - ANSWER The I&R service has a quality assurance review process to ensure
that information in the resource database is accurate and complete.
Classification System/Taxonomy - ANSWER The I&R service uses the 211 LA County Taxonomy of Human
Services (Taxonomy) to index and facilitate retrieval of resource information, increase the reliability of
planning data, make evaluation processes consistent and reliable, and facilitate state/provincial and
national aggregations and comparisons of data. If additional classification or indexing structures are
used, these must be connected to the Taxonomy rather than functioning as independent indexing
systems.
Content Management and Indexing - ANSWER Through training, database management procedures and
supervision, the I&R service ensures that resource database curators organize information about human
services into database records that accurately and concisely reflect the agency, its locations and its
services/programs; index the services provided using the 211 LA County Taxonomy of Human Services in
