Get Started
Welcome to the PCA Documentation Hub, a one-stop place for documentation about PCA, the PCA platform, and the content made available through PCA.
This area helps you understand what PCA offers, how the documentation hub is organized, and where to start based on your role and goal.
The hub gives you a structured overview of PCA's ecosystem, including:
- governance and process context
- documentation of platform services and technical capabilities
- information about the standards, libraries, and related digital content available through PCA
The hub does not contain the reference data content itself. Instead, it explains that content, the services around it, and how to use both correctly.
Use this part of the site when you want a quick overview of the hub before going deeper into the section that best fits your needs.
What You Will Find Here¶
The rest of the thematic areas serve different purposes:
- Platform & Services explains what the PCA platform offers and how you can make use of the different services and capabilities
- Libraries & Standards explains what content is available through PCA and gives you the important design, usage, and implementation context needed to understand and apply it correctly
Governanceexplains how PCA functions, makes decisions, and maintains qualityWorking Groups & Committeesexplains who is responsible for what, how those groups work, and how you can engage with the relevant communities
Where To Go Next¶
If you want to continue from here:
- Start with What PCA Offers for the broad picture
- Continue to Where to start if you want need-based guidance on where to go next
- Use Contribute if you want to publish or improve documentation on the hub
As the hub continues to grow, these thematic areas will expand with more detailed guidance, role-specific paths, and deeper documentation for both platform users and content communities.
