14. SDMX: Global and regional implementation projects Eurostat, Unit B.5 Data and metadata services; Standards European Statistical Training Programme (ESTP) SDMX Basics course, 5-7 March 2019, Luxembourg

Statistical Data and Metadata Exchange Main objects for SDMX data and metadata Concept Scheme Code lists Data/Metadataflow DSD / MSD SDMX stakeholders (main framework) Sponsor organisations (data and metadata collectors) Constituents (data and metadata providers)

SDMX registry SDMX objects and roles SDMX data collector Develops all SDMX artefacts needed for the data/metadata transmission SDMX data provider Access all SDMX artefacts needed for the data/metadata SDMX registry allows to create SDMX objects (data / metadata collector) and retrieve them (data / metadata provider). Also enables WS processes.

Current exchange projects (stakeholders) Data / metadata collector Data / metadata provider Data / metadata provider Data / metadata collector Data / metadata provider

SDMX objects/artefacts SDMX artefacts for Global projects International organisations Develop global SDMX artefacts (Public consultation) SDMX artefacts are stored in Global SDMX Registry SDMX artefacts for Regional projects Regional organisations (lead) supported by national providers Develop regional SDMX artefacts SDMX artefacts are stored in a specific SDMX registry

Global SDMX Registry SDMX artefacts that are relevant for the global SDMX community Existing Global DSDs - National Accounts - Balance of Payments - CPI - FDI - GovFin - HICP - NA (Main aggr, Pensions, Reg Stats) - Sector Acc (Gov fin, SNA93) - NA Supply use Global DSDs in the making - LFS - Education

Regional SDMX Registry Euro SDMX Registry SDMX artefacts that are relevant for the ESS community Existing Regional DSDs - STS - IWW - FISH - DEM - EGR - ESSPROS - etc Existing Regional MSDs - NA - HICP Regional DSDs in the making - FRIBS Regional MSDs in the making - Air

SDMX Road Map 2020 Guiding SDMX developments

SDMX Roadmap 2020 Strengthening the implementation of SDMX Making data usage easier Implement SDMX in more statistical domains Develop additional SDMX Data Structure Definitions Encourage more data sharing agreements Improve data sharing processes with a better coverage of reference metadata Encourage the use of SDMX for data dissemination Encourage compatibility with micro-data standards Develop closer collaboration with LOD community Provide more SDMX-compatible exchange formats Modernising statistical processes and improving standards Better communication and capacity building Further develop the SDMX IT infrastructure and software tools Improve technical standards and statistical guidelines for a better coverage of user needs Integrate data validation within the SDMX standard, based on VTL Production of targeted communication material for users and decision-makers Review format of Global SDMX Conferences Increased coordination in capacity-building Mapping of SDMX readiness and maturity Developing regional strategies

Achievements 2018 Strengthening the implementation of SDMX Making data usage easier New guidelines for “Modelling Statistical Domains with SDMX” released Progress in the definition of DSDs for SDGs, SEEA, Labour and Education New version of the “SDMX Glossary” 2. SDMX for microdata and Mapping SDMX/XBRL SDMX-CSV format released, SDMX-JSON update launched Modernising statistical processes and improving standards Better communication and capacity building New SDMX software tools made available by the ILO, a relative newcomer to the SDMX community Version 1.3 of the SDMX RESTful API published VTL 2.0 released New format for the biannual SDMX Expert group agreed and implemented First “Training the Trainers” capacity-building event and workshops linked to IMTS and SDGs

2019 outlook Strengthening the implementation of SDMX Making data usage easier Public releases of the SEEA, Labour and Education DSDs Official release of SDMX-JSON Structure and Reference Metadata messages Modernising statistical processes and improving standards Better communication and capacity building Release of the SDMX Technology Compatibility Kit by the Technical Working Group Release of standard SDMX training presentations to help prospective

Summary Stakeholders in SDMX implementation = Data and metadata collectors and providers Data and metadata collectors create the needed SDMX artefacts for data and metadata transmission SDMX artefacts are stored in a SDMX Registry (Global / Regional) Data and metadata collectors retrieve SDMX artefacts /receive messages from SDMX Registry (Global / Regional)
