The METeOR and Metadata Unit (MMU) aims to improve the comparability, consistency, relevance and availability of national health and community services information. The MMU manages Australia's national health and community services data definitions and standards, which provide the national infrastructure for the gathering and analysis of information in these areas. The MMU also ensures that the Institute and its many stakeholders have access to, and benefit from, world-leading data standard and metadata management technologies. In particular, the Unit manages METeOR, a sophisticated, web-based data standard management system. This system enables the online creation and dissemination of shared data standards that are the basis of consistent, comparable and linkable data collections.
