Content Collections

The Open Science and Data Platform provides access to a wide diversity of information, including data, scientific publications and regulatory information. With a vast number of records, it is important to organize the catalogue so users can easily find what they need. One way of doing this is through the creation of collections where content is organized, or curated, into easily discoverable collections focused on important regions or topics of interest.

Subject matter experts work together to create the collections to make sure they are relevant and useful for studying cumulative effects or to inform impact assessments. For example, the Western Canada-focused content collections were created to support local studies of cumulative effects in key watershed regions throughout Alberta and British Columbia.

Content collections can also help communities that are doing research and provide useful information for regional assessments under the Impact Assessment Act. For example, one of the reasons the Northern Ontario collection was created was to inform the Ring of Fire Regional Assessment under the Impact Assessment Act.
