Provider Families: What Differs and Why
Readiness training. LEA.Training does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.
There are thousands of online services. You cannot learn each one. You can learn seven families. Each family holds a certain kind of data, lacks a certain kind, and answers requests in a certain way.
Focus: before you write, ask which family the service belongs to. The family tells you what to expect. The provider's own page tells you the rule.
Learning objectives
- Place a service in one of seven provider families.
- Say what each family usually holds, and what it cannot give.
- Explain why some providers send you to their customer, or to their home country's authorities.
- Follow the chain of companies behind a website to the one that holds the data.
- Explain why a provider's published rules and its published figures can look different.
