Data Assessment and Harmonisation APIs

Data Assessment and Harmonisation APIs provide access to services that deal with a great heterogeneity of data sources having different characteristics both in terms of data types they offer and of data behavior differentiating across the same type. This page outlines the design rationale for those APIs.
