15 IMF Economic Information Management Environment IMF.ORG Statistics Portal Online Databases Publications Pub.Stat? Data Dissemination Data Warehousing Data Collection National Sources ICS (Excel/ SDMXML) Area Depts DMX/Other Data Management Research Prognoz CD ROM Statistics EDF/ DMX Intl Organizations OECD, World Bank, etc. Commercial Bloomberg, Global Insight, Haver Analytical, etc. Publishable Data IFS, WEO, REOs, etc. Internally Shared Data Area & Functional Depts., National Sources, Intll Organizations, Commercial Sources Limited Sharing WEO-related, etc. IMF.Stat SDMX Fund-wide Metadata Standards (MetaStore, DSBB, SchemaLogic) Key Driving Initiatives SDMX WEO Production Redesign Structural Metadata (SchemaLogic) Economic Data Dissemination Data Analysis/ Visualization Econometric Tools Fame, Eviews,Stata 8 Dynamic/Interactive Graphics IMF Data Mapper

16 EDW: What is IMF.Stat? Software developed by OECD Took the database, browser and other tools Now working together in a joint effort to enhance the product Have a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) which describes the arrangement

17 EDW: Access to data Currently available internally, though likely to be available externally in future Data available through - A web browser Ad hoc queries Saved queries Export to Excel Bulk export (CSV) - Excel populator Allows data to be refreshed directly from Excel

18 EDD: How to Serve Different Types of Users Five user mindsets that our research suggests users approach our data with: –Advisor and Decision Maker (Use Me) –Researcher (Scoop Me) –Report Compiler (Report Me) –Model Feeder (Consume Me) –Storyteller (Show Me)

19 EDD: How to Find the Data Show MeFind Me Scoop MeReport MeConsume Me Storyteller Advisor and Decision Maker ResearcherReport CompilerModel Feeder Use Me Find Me Lite Data Entrance (IMF.org, e-Library, e-Bookstore) From other pages and sites

20 EDD: Next Steps Develop detailed requirements, including usability, functional and IT requirements Select specific IT solution(s) for the dissemination environment, using a Request for Proposal process by April 2009 Implement the dissemination system by April 2010
