About the team
The Consumption domain is the downstream system/component for which upstream Domains produce the data. The Consumption domain consolidates all the outputs from different domains and export the final data to Elsevier products, such as Scopus/D2M etc, and therefore has a true central function in coordination and communication around data streams. The core capabilities of the Consumption Domain include building collections for Elsevier products according to the policies of the products, managing consistency across Domain outputs, and managing the data format standards. This means consumption has the whole authority/knowledge of what it wants to export to different applications, and in that sense is the front door of the Research Data Platform.
The Consumption Domain is run by a multi-disciplinary leadership team, consisting of a Product Domain Lead, Operations Domain Lead and Tech Domain lead, and Architect. The Consumption Domain is growing and the leadership group is being built.
