  2. Introduction First public presentation of the document: Governance of commonly used SDMX artefacts, elaborated by the SDMX Secretariat; • Status: Draft for discussion and broader feedback ! • The document will also be submitted to the SDMX Sponsors for guidance in September 2012; • Final version should be ready by end 2012; • Therefore we want to gather comments on • the general structure of the document • eventual missing points • any other comment or suggestion to improve the document

  3. Why governance ? • to minimise uncertainty • to inspire trust • to foster standardisation All technical, statistical and IT standards need governance. Main pillars of governance • maintenance policy • maintenance structure • maintenance agency

  4. Policy Statement Maintenance agencies taking the responsibility for commonly used SDMX artefacts and commit themselves to: • Respect the governing rules defined in the governance document; • agree on methodological rules and procedures for the management of the SDMX artefacts under their responsibility; • define clear roles, structures and responsibilities for all involved parties ; • respect high quality standards for the benefit of the whole SDMX community.

  5. Governance Structure

  6. Basic governance principles • Commitment to actively collaborate • Freedom of extension and limits to proliferation • Planning and coordination • Standardisation: No duplication of concept principle • Stability and pro-activity • Freedom of application and scope • Re-usability: Use of cross-domain concepts and code lists • Accountability: Versioning and change management • Transparency • Close relationships with users

  7. Maintenance of SDMX artefacts • Maintenance agency = organizations responsible for the operational maintenance of a specific set of commonly used SDMX artefacts • Maintenance schedules • Change management

  8. Practical governance issues • Versioning of artefacts referenced in DSDs • Versioning of DSDs • Parallel use of different versions of artefacts • One or many registries for storage of artefacts • Parallel use of two different classification systems in one single DSD • etc. Many of these issues need to be elaborated more in detail (using practical experience).
