  1. CIMES, a tool for describing European Official Statistics Microdata Presented by Raphaëlle Fleureux, Cyril Jayet/ CNRS-RQ DwB 1st Regional Workshop , Ljubljana, 2013

  2. Outline • DwB WP5 Objectives and Tasks • CIMES • The Documentation Schema • Demo • State-of-Play & Further Developments

  3. DwB WP5 : Objectives and Tasks • Objective : Provide comprehensive overview of officialstatistical data in Europe • Task 2: Collect, structure and code information on available microdata from official statistics at the national level for each country in Europe • Task 3: Collect, structure and code information on integrated European microdata from official statistics held by Eurostat and national censuses

  4. CIMES • In the task 2 of WP5, we agreed on a documentation schema based on DDI2 and 3 • We tested different softwares (Nesstar, Colectica, etc.) and they were not really relevant for the purpose of this documentation (in terms of correspondence to the schema, and of financial and technical aspects) We decided to develop our own tool at CNRS-RQ: CIMES (Centralising and Integrating Metadata from European Statistics)

  5. A Three-levels Schema • Series: a group of studies, for example Labour Force Survey (LFS) • Study: the actual collection of data, for example LFS 2007 • Dataset: a set of files disseminated, for example LFS Scientific Use File (SUF) 2007 In order to give a large and comprehensive overview of official microdata available in Europe, a simple schema is needed. The variable level will not be documented.

  6. A Two- or Three-levels Nested Hierarchy 2 levels 3 levels German Microcensus Series Life Events and Health Survey 2006 German Microcensus 2007 German Microcensus 2008 Study Life Events and Health Survey 2006 PUF German Microcensus 2007 SUF German Microcensus 2007 PUF German Microcensus 2008 SUF Dataset

  7. Fields

  8. State of play • We plan to document surveys on most commonly studied topics in comparative research projects in order to facilitate international comparisons across European countries • Living conditions, Employment, Education, Social Mobility, Structure of Earnings, Working Conditions, Innovation. • Scope of the database : EU27 + Switzerland + Norway + Island • State of play : • Documentation started for 21 countries • More than 130 series and 800 studies

  9. Future Developments • The task ends in October 2013 • We aim to make the database publicly available • Future ? Inclusion in the future European Service Center • How to maintain the database ? • Regular update ? • Participate and review by NSI
