Purpose of metadataPurpose of metadata
• The main purpose of statistical metadata is to inform users of statistical data about:
which statistical data are availablewhere to find and how to retrieve certain
statistical data that they needhow to interpret statistical data, once they are
available

Current situationCurrent situation
• Implementation a metadata model based on Official Statistical Program (PSZ).
• At that moment the SCBDOC was considering as the only suitable model to be used as a template.
• INSTAT has made some successful pilots for metadata based on Official Statistics Program (PSZ).

Current situation (cont 1)Current situation (cont 1)
From statistical point of view:
• INSTAT has made some successful pilots based on Official Statistical Program (PSZ).
• The first one was prepared for Business Statistics activities as well as: SBS, STS-survey, STS-building permits, Foreign trade statistics, Tourism statistics, Transport statistics

Current situation (cont 2)Current situation (cont 2)
From IT point of view:
• IT sector has developed the AlbMeta application which is a application used for describing a physical database for a micro data register. The development tools used are all from Microsoft: SQL Server 2005 and Visual Basic.NET.

Cost and BenefitsCost and Benefits
– Cost• Hard work for describing the PSZ• Hard work between IT staff and statistician• Every thing is done parallel with daily work
– Benefits• Hopefully produced statistics in standard way and
process oriented way • To be more efficient

Implementation strategyImplementation strategy
• One important aspect is to develop a system for documentation of micro data that has an improved functionality and higher quality of the content of current AlbMeta.
• The system is going to work together with other parts of the metadata system.
• The system will:– Provide an overview of metadata for the micro data.– Provide information for evaluating the possibilities for matching data
from different surveys or other sources.– Operate as a tool for increased standardisation and harmonisation and
therefore give better possibilities for data coordination.– Provide a better support for documenting so that the overall quality of
the documentations can be increased.

Practical workPractical work
• The system is going to be an important tool for a large part of Institute of Statistics.
• Therefore user groups consisting of interested persons were tied to the project from the beginning.
• The user groups were categorised in statisticians, methodologists and system developers.
• These groups took an active part in developing the content and functionality of the system in order to be a useful tool for them in their practical work.
• Other requirements have also been collected by the project group and taken into account when developing the system.

Project Organisation Project Organisation
• The metadata group is composed from the IT, Business Statistics, Methodology and Business Register staff and LTC from Statistics Sweden.

Metadata sourcesMetadata sources
• The main sources that Institute of Statistics used for collecting and producing the statistical data are: – Statistical surveys– Administrative sources.
– The metadata is organizing in direction of those two main sources. For the moment there is no real data in the database system.
Lisbone, 11-13 March 2009Lisbone, 11-13 March 2009 1818
Metadata usedMetadata used
• The only metadata managed at this stage is for the developing and designing phase. The project is planning to introduce PC Axis as a dissemination tool from a macro database.
