Introduction to the EDIT System EDIT Integration EDIT User Types and Functionality The EDIT Scripting Language, overview EDIT Installation Planned Enhancements in 2013 Agenda 2

EDIT Introduction Data Validation tool, allowing users to import data, run validation programs and export results The validation process relies on a custom Scripting Language Friendly web-based User Interface Independent Domains can be run in parallel on the same EDIT instance 3

EDIT Integration Exposes full API as Web Services Integrated with ECAS Integrated with EDAMIS –detect incoming files and process them in unattended mode –publish validation results to the Feedback Channel Integrated with the SDMX Registry –fetch DSDs into EDIT structures –load codelists from the Registry 4

EDIT User Types Programmer –Manages the Metadata needed by the User to execute jobs –Sets up the unattended mode configuration User –Executes jobs on datasets Administrator –Manages users and permissions 5

Programmer Module – Metadata Definition Format Definition Program Definition Auxiliary Data Import 6

Programmer Module – Unattended Mode Configuration 7 Configure Incoming Data Locations Metadata Definition Configure Dynamic Domain Programs

User Module Data Import Job Execution Job Results Data Export 8

Admin Module 9 Manage Domains Manage Users on Domains

EDIT Scripting Language Overview Custom Scripting Language designed specifically for data validation Simple but flexible Allows the definition of –Formats –Programs 10

EDIT Scripting Language Overview Rules can perform both Validations and Computations –Record level –Vertical (with multiple transpositions) –Hierarchical (multiple interlinked datasets loaded inside a single composite dataset) Dataset Operations –Create new data structures from one or multiple inputs –Copy, Merge, Alter, Aggregate, etc. 11

EDIT Installation Standalone Installation –All components running on the local user’s machine –Supported for Microsoft Windows ® XP, Vista, 7 and 8 –Simple installation wizard –Shortcuts are created in the Start Menu for easy user access Server Installation –Distributed components on centralized servers –Currently available in DG DIGIT’s Datacenter and ESTAT User Access via Web Browser 12

Planned Enhancements in 2013 (1) Job Prioritization Multiple Job Executors & Load Balancing (Server version) Validation Outputs External Inputs –Read directly from a file (skip import step) or an external database External Outputs –Write directly to a file (no export step) or external database 13

Planned Enhancements in 2013 (2) Multilingual User Interface Temporary Outputs GESMES Registry Integration (GSM Import) Simplify the User Interface Simplify the User Workflow 14
