How is this data produced?
DOSM's advance release calendar is compiled and coordinated by the Strategic Communications Division for the purpose of display on the main DOSM portal. It contains three fields, namely the title in English, title in Malay, and release date. To produce the structured dataset shown here, the OpenDOSM team conducts standardisation of naming conventions and adds several metadata fields which are typically helpful for users, such as category, frequency, and release series (in date and natural language formats).
