  2. THE MISSION OF INSTAT INSTAT’ s mission is to produce objective, impartial, reliable, professional independence, relevance, transparence and timely statistics that help the user to judge on the developments of the transformation processes in our country. Lisbone, 11-13 March 2009

  3. The vision of INSTAT As only used statistics are useful statistics, INSTAT strives to become : the major source of statistical information providing decision makers, research and education in Albania in the international community with relevant, reliable and comparable statistical information. with a learning attitude and systematic network for marketing and disseminating statistical information making use of modern networking structures and information technology Lisbone, 11-13 March 2009

  4. INSTAT’s structure 2009 General Director Lisbone, 11-13 March 2009

  5. Metadata strategy Collection of information about the data collected in an application or database. Decide how meta data would be used in the organization Decide who would use what meta data and why Develop map for managing statistical information from different sources Improve the quality of statistics produced Lisbone, 11-13 March 2009

  6. Purpose of metadata The main purpose of statistical metadata is to inform users of statistical data about: which statistical data are available where to find and how to retrieve certain statistical data that they need how to interpret statistical data, once they are available Lisbone, 11-13 March 2009

  7. Current 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). Lisbone, 11-13 March 2009

  8. 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 Lisbone, 11-13 March 2009

  9. 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. Lisbone, 11-13 March 2009

  12. PSZ organization (cont) 3 Final observation registers 3.1 Production versions 3.2 Long-term (archive, terminal) storage versions 3.3 Experiences from the latest survey round 4 Statistical processing and presentation 4.1 Estimation: assumptions and calculation formulas 4.2 Presentation procedures 5 Data processing system 6 Log file Lisbone, 11-13 March 2009

  13. Cost 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 Lisbone, 11-13 March 2009

  14. Implementation 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. Lisbone, 11-13 March 2009

  15. Practical 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. Lisbone, 11-13 March 2009

  16. Project Organisation The metadata group is composed from the IT, Business Statistics, Methodology and Business Register staff and LTC from Statistics Sweden. Lisbone, 11-13 March 2009

  17. Metadata 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 2009

  18. Metadata 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. Lisbone, 11-13 March 2009

  19. PSZ application Lisbone, 11-13 March 2009

  20. AlbMeta application Lisbone, 11-13 March 2009
