DJ Co-Ops — Cooperative Operating Environment

A reconstruction of the multi-state USDA Foods cooperative software environment SCVdata stewarded between 2011 and 2015. Module structure, data shape, and operational vocabulary are faithful to the original system. All underlying data is synthetic.

One operating platform · Multiple management surfaces
