New IRMLS system — Common Data Descriptions being developed

Representatives of the new IRMLS met with LPS (Paragon system vendor) for the first time to review the results of a comprehensive data analysis of all 13 Founder MLSs, performed by LPS.  The results are documented in two summaries, developed by Julie Alert and the team.

Here is a powerpoint, which was shared with the IRMLS BOD on October 30.  It is useful to begin to know the “direction” the group is heading for the new common data descriptions.  It can be shared with anyone that has an interest in what the new system will look like (in terms of data).

Here is a more detailed written report for your review.
