COINS Field Definitions -- Jan 2010 (ukgov-coins-field-definitions)

http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/schema_for_coins_database

The Combined Online Information System (COINS) is the Treasury's accounting database.

This was the Treasury's response to a FOI request for the schema to the COINS database.

The COINS database is not relational so it was not possible to provide the schema. COINS is a multidimensional database and so, to be helpful the Treasury provided the 'fields' of each of the dimensions as of Jan 2010.

The information is presented in 8 worksheets, the tab of which shows the name of the specific dimension.

More description of the spreadsheets is given at:

Acronyms explained

  • EL is Estimate Lines
  • RFR is Request For Resources
  • AA is Accounting Authority
  • Cost Center - part of departmental spending
