#81: What does "last change" indicate?

Category: Data structure · Last updated: · Permalink

Both individual entities and whole datasets are tracked for changes over time. The "last change" field (last_change in the data) indicates the most recent change in any field in the data.

It's important to keep in mind that changes in the database can be either the result of changes at the data source (made by the publisher), but also the result of changes in how OpenSanctions processes the data (for example, an updated data model).
