Content • Italian National Statistical System (Sistan) • Istat role within Sistan • Open Data and the National Digital Agenda • Sistan Hub project: • legislative framework • main aims • architecture • An open source toolkit for facilitating the project • Each organization can find a suitable solution • Project state of art • From the hub “Data Browser” to “Data Explorer”

  3. National Statistical System: Sistan Structure • National Institute of Statistics – Istat (Central and regional offices) • Statistical offices of central (*) and local government administrations • Other public bodies and organisations dealing with statistical information Main actors • Provide Italian and international bodies with official statistics information • Ensure uniform policy, homogeneous organisation and rationalised information flows at central and local levels (National Statistical Law) Mission (*) included ONAs: Other National Agencies

  7. SISTAN Hub project – main aims • Improve data quality within the NSS • Support the “semantic interoperability” as detailed by the Digital Agenda at European and National level • Facilitate open (statistical)data at national level • Facilitate the standardization and modernization of the dissemination information systems in the Public Administration • International standards (SDMX, RDF(*), DCAT(*), etc.) • metadata-drive processes • data warehousing • Sharing best practices developed at international and national level • (*) RDF Datacube, DCAT_AP_IT

  8. The components of the project • Governance: who publish what • Quality (guided by the European Code of Practice / Quality Assurance Framework) • Principle 13: Timeliness and Punctuality • Principle 14: Coherence and Comparability • Principle 15: Accessibility and Clarity • Metadata harmonization • IT architecture • Distributed databases • Single access point for end users (Hub)

  9. SISTAN Hub project – architecture

  10. An open source toolkit for facilitating the project • An integrated and modular set of applications developed on the basis of pilot phase experience • Loosely Coupled Architecture • integrated with the Eurostat SDMX-RI (reuse of some modules of the SDMX-RI) • Optimized to be used with the OECD SIS-CC Data Explorer (as Hub application)

  11. Each organization can find a suitable solution Meta Repository Meta Web GUI SDMX DDB Meta Repository I.STAT SDMX-RI WS SDMX RI HUB Data Manager ISTAT Meta Manager Meta Repository Meta Repository SDMX -RI WS SDMX RI SDMX DDB Legacy DDB CSV or SDMX files Data Manager Cloud Wrapping Engineering or Re-engineering

  12. Project state of art • Experimental phase: ended successfully in 2017 • To verify the feasibility • To identify the fundamental “access” functionalities: • a central theme-tree, categorising datasets available in different peripheral nodes (sources) • switch among different nodes • Pilot/production phase: running • To involve more organisations • To evolve the software (hub and nodes) • new version of the Istat toolkit to support better data producers • SIS-CC Data Explorer as Hub application

  13. From the hub “Data Browser” to “Data Explorer”
