At a glance

Start with the task in front of you.

Choose the capability you need today. The six services work independently or together—there is no required sequence.

Four ways into the platform

01Find and use

People explore. Systems consume.

PCA Explore™

Understand what you can use.

Search standard definitions and library content, inspect their meaning, status and provenance, and decide what fits your need.

PCA Consume™

Connect systems to the same meaning.

Connect systems to the same governed content through persistent identifiers and machine-friendly formats.

02Extend and align

Turn a missing need into usable content.

PCA Evolve™

Create structured additions.

Create structured additions for unmet needs. Built-in checks establish a quality baseline, assign a shared identifier and make them available to use immediately.

PCA Govern™

Review with clear outcomes.

Review proposed additions through a joint community process, with clear status, provenance and recorded outcomes.

03Publish

Publish governed content without building the service yourself.

PCA Host™

Let PCA run the publishing service.

PCA prepares, publishes and operates the digital service. Your organization retains authority over its content and can present it through PCA or under its own identity.
