SDMX – IS: • A Standard that provides automated communications from computer to computer through a specific model by using technical means • Model, that describes the statistical data and metadata • Technical means, that support standardized IT tools For the application of SDMX the first need is: • Agreement between data provider and recipient (joint decree) • Data and metadata exchange process is created by using a common description for a common understanding (common data structure, metadata structure, common classification) • General description tools of the data and metadata exchange should be available to all participants in the data and metadata exchange process Agency of statistics of the Republic of Kazakhstan, 2014
