Organisation Registry / Who's doing What Where and When (4W)

"Who, What, Where"
The Organization Registry keeps track of all the relief organizations working in the disaster region. It captures not only the places where they are active, but also captures information on the range of services they are providing in each area.

We should aim to be able to exchange data with UN OCHA's 3W.

This means having the following tables:

Organisation

• Name
• Acronym
• Type IS_IN_SET([Government,International Governmental Organization,International NGO,Misc,National Institution,National NGO,United Nations])
• Website
• National Staff
• International Staff
• Number of Vehicles
• Vehicle Types
• Donation Phone (gives the org an incentive to be listed)
• Logo (could be displayed on the map)

Sectors

• Name
• Abbreviation

Office

• Name
• Type IS_IN_SET([Headquarters,Regional,Country,Satellite Office]) (Would "Field" be a better term than "Satellite")
• Phone 1
• Phone 2
• Email
• Fax
• Address 1
• Address 2 (used for Postcode)

Contact

Handled by the Person Registry?

• First Name
• Last Name

• Location

4x Many-to-Many tables to link them

• structured like t2_membership

Sector-to-Organisation

Many-to-Many table to link Sector to Organisations.

Office-to-Organisation

Many-to-Many table to link Offices to Organisations.
Optional validator to limit Offices as being affiliated to just a single Organisation

Contact-to-Office

Many-to-Many table to link Contacts to Offices.
Optional validator to limit Contacts as being affiliated to just a single Office

Contact-to-Organisation

Many-to-Many table to link Contacts to Organisations.

Q: Is it useful to be able to have a Contact be affiliated to an Organisation but not to an Office?

• would the default 'HQ' be appropriate?

Would be nice to add these functionalities:

• Organigram creator from the Contacts
• ID cards from the Contacts

Q: Wouldn't "Staff" be a better description than contact? Q: Contact implies just a single person for each organization.
