Yeah, that part is missing in the docs, it was only part of (my) presentations/workshops. Needless to say: PRs for the Docs and other contributions are always welcome :)

Depends very much on your understand of reporting.

 I'll stop here in the hope the above helps. More seasoned developers may continue from hereon (and correct me along the way if necessary).

Excellent answer, haven't found anything to correct ;)

Small additions for context:

The report contains just raw data fetched from the source, plus some metadata of the collection process which may be needed or useful afterwards.

In IntelMQ 3.0 we have renamed the "Data Harmonization Ontology" to "IntelMQ/Internal Data Format" (IDF). The choice to name the data format "Harmonization" comes from the fact that, in the beginnings of IntelMQ back in 2015, Thomas Lima harmonized different format that were out there, most importantly AbuseHelper and ElasticSearch's ECS. The file name harmonization.conf is just a leftover from the recent renaming, which we intentionally left as is to minimize the migration burden and wait for other potential refactorings in this area (e.g. moving the file elsewhere, changing the format, completely obsolete it, ... whatever).
