General workflow concepts

A data workflow can distinguish data arrival, transformation and downstream use. These stages provide a way to discuss preparation and analytical needs.

Bronze, Silver and Gold are labels for stages of data preparation. As a general illustration, they can separate ingestion, transformation and downstream use; this is not a description of the Oxfam Novib implementation.
