Objectives • Starting point of the ETMS ≠ collection of new data • = but rather to : • Elaborate procedures for implementing a robust DB • Build on ESPON Database, ESPON datanavigator, GEOSPECS and other ESPON tools • Elaborate robust methodology for future data collection/update
Updating datasets Gathering the information needed to convert data between different territorial nomenclatures; Compiling the most recent data, i.e. as soon as they are published by national statistical institutes and other primary data sources; Gathering data at LAU2-level(check Eurostat micro-data access);
Compiling and managing metadata on datasets • Special attention must be given to: • Data updates • Methodological coherence of time series • Changes in the boundaries of statistical units • Building on the metadata infrastructure already established by the • ESPON Metadata • and Data Navigator projects • Developing further aspects of metadata when needed
The fundamental role of metadata • Metadata = centrepiece in the setup of the ETMS • to construct coherent and comparable results • over time • Starting point of the ETMS ≠ collection of new data • = but rather to : • Elaborate procedures for implementing a robust DB • Build on ESPON Database, ESPON datanavigator, GEOSPECS and other ESPON tools • Elaborate robust methodology for future data collection/update
