Panel Discussion Questions
Why is it impossible to use the nine GSBPM steps in a chronological way?
For what steps?
At what steps are reference metadata captured? Can ESMS metadatacapture be detailled? 3

Metadata flows within GSBPM
Group discussion - Objectives
Classify the metadata objects
Which are the triggers that create metadata in a statistical process;
Which metadata is needed and how it is handled within the GSBPM;
Which is the flow of metadata across the phases of the GSBPM;
Which metadata drive processes;
Which standards can be useful to support the flows within GSBPM;
Which flows correspond to the quality management; 5

6. Group discussion - Tasks
Metadata flows within GSBPM
Group discussion - Tasks
Establish the scope of the work:
Include data instances as a kind of “milestones”
Include quality indicators
Establish the degree of detail the work shall have:
detail on the decomposition of metadata objects;
detail on the depth of the model (phase/subprocess)
Identify standards and other documents relevant for this work; 6

7. « Expected products: Metadata flows within GSBPM 7
A classification for metadata
A list of metadata objects mapped to the phases where they are created, updated and used in the GSBPM
A description of the flows followed by those metadata objects
A list of metadata objects related to the management of the processes and the quality of the information in each phase
Proposals of standards that could be useful to support the processes of the GSBPM 7
