DSD / MSD
SDMX stakeholders (main framework)
Sponsor organisations (data and metadata collectors)
Constituents (data and metadata providers)

3. 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.

8. SDMX Road Map 2020 Guiding SDMX developments

9. 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

10. Achievements 2018 Strengthening the implementation of SDMX

12. 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)
