Maintenance of a survey catalog
The IHSN catalog is maintained by the World Bank in collaboration with many international, regional, and national agencies. Surveys and censuses are documented using the IHSN Metadata Editor to generate metadata compliant with the DDI Metadata standard. These metadata are then published in the NADA cataloguing tool open-source software application developed by the IHSN.
