Background #1 : ”The role of the NSI’s and metadata needs to change … ”

200 years ago: “statistics as state secrects”

Today: “handling complexity”

• A lighthouse in the turbulent sea of information

• Focus on metadata to support knowledge processes

• Metadata must give user exact knowledge on products – ”Information at your fingertips” 2

Background #2 ”… towards focus on user needs”

>>

Background #3: “Challenges on metadata … ”

• Metadata are not reused and often only linked to final data

• No link to GSBPM processes• Parallel systems with tight links to DBMS-systems • Presentation of metadata on Internet is

fragmented and incomplete• Concepts database incomplete with no hierarchy

(Super-, sub- and synonym-concepts) • Classifications and code-lists in many places• No clear awareness of populations and units

Background #4: ”Metadata must be connected and

reusable ”

TITLE"Horizontal and vertical

integration: Implementation of technical and statistical

standards in the European Statistical System"

DELIVERABLESQuality declarations migrated to new metadata system for all statistics

Meetings and reports from external users

Dissemination of dst.dk developed in collaboration with users

Software (Colectica) installed - internal interface and external interface (dissemination at dst.dk)

Manuals and coursesThe transition from current to new quality declarations

Continuous updates - follow Dst's process model

Communication:Newsletters, reference group and thematic meeting each quarter

15

SUCCES-CRITERIAManagement at all levels have been regularly

informed and have made the necessary decisionsThere are taken care of communication of the

project - “Everybody want changes, but no one wants to be changed"

External and internal customer needs is "translated" into internal processes and communication at dst.dk

Relevant standards are implemented into a single integrated metadata system

STANDARDS

Standards #1 GSBPM combined with QAF, DDI, SDMX and ESQRS

DDI DDISDMX

Quality Assurance Framework (QAF, ESQRS, ESMS etc.)

>>

22

Standards #2 Benefits on using DDI

• Integration and reuse of concepts, variables, classifications on micro- and macro-level including dissemination, quality-declaration etc.

• Integration with Statistics Denmark's process model

• Versioning and multi-langugage• Implementation of thesaurus • Synergy due to national and international

cooperation and experience (Australia, New Zealand, France etc.)

Issues for discussion

1. Towards a common terminology using DDI, ESQRS/ESMS and GSIM (concept, unit, population etc) on micro and macro-level

2. Common DDI-structures / DDI-profiles3. How to ensure vertical and horisontal

integration and the role of standards– “Each organisation is unique with historically based practices of

management, social aspects and professional skills. As a consequence of this, organisations with their own built-in complexity can only respond to certain impulses from the outside world … Cooperation and implementation of standards must ensure fulfilment of common goals and at the same time allow organisations to make decisions that fit their historically-based practices and “local” environment.”
