Human Services Data Specification defines a minimal set of data for publishing machine-readable directory information about health, human, and social services; their locations and accessibility details; and the organizations that provide them. Read the spec here.
A detailed FAQ about the project is found here, and additional information about the Open Referral Initiative is available at https://openreferral.org
This project also integrates documentation for the Human Services Data API specification which builds upon HSDS.

Any change pushed to the master branch on GitHub will be built and pushed to http://docs.openreferral.org/en/latest/ automatically by readthedocs. Build info is found at https://readthedocs.org/projects/openreferral/builds/
Other branches are not built automatically, but can be configured by admin's of the 'openreferral' project on readthedocs, on this page - https://readthedocs.org/projects/openreferral/versions/
Assuming a unix based system with Python 3 installed, set up an environment:
python3 -m venv .ve
source .ve/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
Then pull in the submodule for the api-documentation.
git submodule init
git submodule update
The update command should be re-run whenever there are updates to the api-specification repository.
To build the docs:
cd docs
make dirhtml
You can also use sphinx-autobuild to have an auto-refreshing local build.
pip install sphinx-autobuild
cd docs
sphinx-autobuild . _build
