Guide for use

The main navigation page is the MIM Index. This is a table that allows you to move around the matrix.

  • Data collections are listed in the dark ribbons at the top of the table and at intervals across the table. These form the columns of the table. A table listing full names of the collections follows the navigation summary below. Data collection overviews (DCO) containing more information on each data collection can be accessed by clicking on the abbreviated names at the top of the table.
  • Data items appear in the leftmost column and form the rows of the table. Data items are grouped into categories. More information about data items and the collections that include them are available by clicking on the data item name.
  • Green circles in the body of the table indicate that the data item specified in the row appears in the collection specified in the column.

How to use the Summary
