  1. Vision Infrastructure Project (VIP) Enhanced Dissemination Chain 2nd SISAI meeting, 12-13 June 2012 B4 – IT for statistical production Unit B5 – Management of statistical data and metadata Unit B6 – Dissemination

  2. VIP 'Enhanced Dissemination Chain' Vision Infrastructure Projects aim to improve the vertical and horizontal integration of the European Statistical System; this ESS integration is one of the central goals of the ESS vision. Commission Communication COM(2009)404 on the production method of EU statistics: a vision for the next decade • As new technologies become available, there is a clear drive to maximise their use and to gear statistical methods toward them. New forms of communicating with users and producers such as web 2.0, as well as other new developments in information technology, are likely to result in profound changes in communication channels and • data handling and storage. http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=COM:2009:0404:FIN:EN:PDF

  3. Short term • Medium term Enhanced Dissemination Chain – 2011 to 2013 VIP 'Enhanced Dissemination Chain' • Eurostat’s Dissemination Chain: improvement, simplification & better integration • Disseminated data: quality improvements • EU policy indicators: faster production • Involvement of ESS (Member States) in the Dissemination Chain • Further development of Eurobase towards a more integrated data warehouse for Eurostat and the ESS • Better integration of Eurostat & national dissemination

  4. Eurostat Dissemination Chain Simplified view of the data flows Comext Comext Dissemi- nation Internet tools: Data Explorer, TGM, etc. New Query Generator Eurostat production databases Eurobase

  5. 3 2 1 4 Simplification and integration of the Eurostat Dissemination Chain More functionality for producing and disseminating Eurostat policy indicators Actions Deliverables VIP 'Enhanced Dissemination Chain' Development towards a Eurostat / ESS data warehouse Strategy (context: enterprise architecture) Checking algorithms in Eurobase Service Impact Manager Possible direct connection between Data Explorer & Eurobase New production line for indicator tables Flexible dashboards for policy indicators Embeddable visualisationtool More integration of Eurostat data and metadata in NSI dissemination SDMX-compliant web services

  6. VIP 'Enhanced Dissemination Chain' Action 1: Development of Eurobase towards an Eurostat / ESS data warehouse • Task 1a: Strategy on opening Eurobase towards an ESS warehouse • Overall context enterprise architecture • Internal discussions, early stage • Task 1b: Ex-post data quality controls for data published in Eurobase • Input into Eurobase is validated by production units • But: errors are possible • Negative values, unexpected jumps, outliers, obvious inconsistencies …

  7. VIP 'Enhanced Dissemination Chain' Action 2: Simplification and better integration of the DISS-CHAIN • Task 2a: Service Impact Manager (SIM)

  8. VIP 'Enhanced Dissemination Chain' Action 2: Simplification and better integration of the DISS-CHAIN • Task 2b: Feasibility of the direct connection between Data Explorer and Eurobase • Short-term: as-is analysis, and proposals for improvements of the current DISS-CHAIN • Long-term: development of a new system 8

  9. VIP 'Enhanced Dissemination Chain' Action 3: Improve functionality for producing and disseminating policy-oriented indicators • Task 3a: New production line for indicator tables • Faster and more flexible provision of indicators • Task 3b: Flexible dashboards for policy indicators • Existing dashboards: PEEIs, HICP • Specific solutions • 'Reference' dashboard • One technical solution ready to be used by different indicator sets • Feasibility study on-going

  10. VIP 'Enhanced Dissemination Chain' Action 4: Enhance Eurostat dissemination towards better integration with MS's dissemination • Task 4a: Simple visualisation tool to be embedded in NSIs' websites • Widgets • Development together with MS (Task Force) • Examples (priority widgets)

  11. VIP 'Enhanced Dissemination Chain' Action 4: Enhance Eurostat dissemination towards better integration with MS's dissemination • Task Force meeting 29 & 30 March with 6 NSIs agreed on 2 top priority widgets 11

  12. VIP 'Enhanced Dissemination Chain' Action 4: Enhance Eurostat dissemination towards better integration with MS's dissemination • Task 4b: Dissemination web services • Additional dissemination product • Technology to exchange data directly over the internet (machine to machine) • Beta-release available 12

  13. VIP 'Enhanced Dissemination Chain' Conclusions – expected project results • Eurostat: improvements of the DISS-CHAIN • Technical • Architecture • Functionalities • Data • Quality • Presentation • ESS: integration with MS's dissemination • Widgets • Dissemination web services 13
