  1. Implementation of Eurostat Quality Declarations with Cost-Effective Use of Standards Q2014 - European conference on quality in statistics Vienna 2-5 June 2014 Mogens Grosen Nielsen & Lars Thygesen, Statistics Denmark E-mail: mgn@dst.dk

  2. Agenda • On-going project – vision and implementation • Quality framework and related standards • Challenges • Conclusions

  3. Vision and focusat Statistics Denmark • Statistical information must help users in the “turbulent information-sea” • Metadata aboutcontent and quality must • helpusers in theirknowledge processes • give usersprecise information aboutour products • International standards and standard software must enable: • Costefficient solution • Gradualimplementation with few ressources • Sustainable long term solution

  4. ”Classical” metadata elements implementedusing Data Documenationinitiative (DDI) and SDMX StatBank Methods/ ”Survey” Methods papers Quality declaration Variable/dataset Concept Variable database Concepts database Hvad betyder Classifications Klassifikationsdatabase Class database

  5. THE SOLU-TION REUSE EXISTING METADATA Enter Q.D. Publish at Dst.dk METADATA IN COLECTICA Publish at the Intranet Q.D. to EU

  6. Single Integrated Metadata Structure (SIMS) and reporting formats: ESMS and ESQRS

  7. Work processes and quality declarations Needs: Fill in userneeds etc. Analyse : Fill in accuracy etc.

  8. Work processes and quality declarations in Colectica – Retail Trade index

  9. Workprocesses and quality declarations in Colectica – Retail Trade index

  10. Transmission to Eurostat and customizedpresentation in reportsand at dst.dk • Manyviewsintoqualitydeclarations to support varioususers • Example: Extract from report with summary information for Retail Trade Index

  11. Status on EU-grant project • Systemusing Colectica, DDI and SDMX in place • SIMSqualityconceptclassificationinside with integration to concept database • Files to Eurostat complying with ESMSand ESQRSmetadata structure definitionscanbegenerated • Guidelines and coursematerialprepared • About 100 surveys created and subject matter staffare working to transform from old to new standard-basedqualitydeclarations

  12. Implementation of Eurostat Quality Framework

  13. Qualitydefineed and requirement for the Quality management system Definition of quality: “the degree to which a set of inherent characteristics of processes and products fulfils requirements” Define content: SIMS Guidelines for production processes User needs: surveyspecfic and quality / metadata specific Quality organisation

  14. Challenge #1 User needs Challenge • Increasein number of userdemand on content Response • Focus-groups • Improved dissemination Suggestion for research and development • How to improve dissemination of information on content and quality dimensions • How to ensure descriptions of society fulfilling the democratic ideal on information

  15. Challenge #2 Corporatelevelissues Challenge • Stovepipes Response • Stepwise implementation towards end-to-end processes Suggestion for research and development • How to implement efficient end-to-end processes (value chains) • Business Process Management

  16. Challenge #3 Integrating quality into business processes Challenge • Weak awareness on systematic quality work • How to put quality elements into GSBPM Solution • Describe each SIMS element in one or more GSBPM processes Suggestion for research and development • Improve integration of SIMS, QAF and GSBPM

  17. Challenge #4 Standards and technical implementation Challenge • Reuse of metadata • Short term solution must not conflict with long term solutions Solution • Standards (DDI, SDMX etc.) implemented stepwise Suggestion for research and development • How to implement stepwise standards with different ambition levels • GSIM should be improved towards practical use

  18. Cost-efficient solutions at Member State and Eurostat level Challenge • How to handle the four challenges above at Member and Eurostat level in a coordinated manner? Solution • Implement the same standards at different ambition-levels Suggestion for research and development • How do organisations work as social systems and how to improve cooperation of organisation

  19. Main conclusions to increase cost effectiveness • Think global, act local • Implement the same standards at National and International level, but with different ambition-levels Buildmodernlibrary catolog systems Access to Qualityand Metadata shouldbelike shopping at Amazon More R&D on how to fulfilluserneeds b) integratequality and metadata into processes

  20. The End!
