Extensions proposed by the English Local Government Association (LGA) and the local government OpenCommunity project to the OpenReferral standard for human services data.

Hypothesis
We believe that showcasing case stories/studies of standard adoption could lower the barrier to adoption in these ways:
Being able to see the adoption journey and what's involved makes it more known and less risky
Being able to see the benefits for an individual standard adoptee makes the reason to move more compelling
A named example increases the feeling that the standard is mature and adopted by known organizations. Users could also reach out to known contacts directly to learn more (especially LAs).
