SDMX approach in Statistics Norway Experiences creating SDMX-ML files • A challenge to find readable data descriptions which is essential for creating metadata structure in our SQL DB (Statbank) • A DSD in XML format is not sufficient for this purpose • Example of what we ask for from Eurostat for PEII: - D1.2.3 Design and Implementation of SDMX Structural Definitions & D5.5.3 MIG for the SDMX structure definition message (for PEEI Set 3) v.1.1 - this document describes the files (including code lists) we are supposed to report - the document reminds of a GESMES key-family MIG OECD Expert Group on SDMX 2007, Geneva 10 – 11 May 2007, Marianne Vik Dysterud - mvd@ssb.no
SDMX approach in Statistics Norway Experiences creating SDMX-ML files • Loading data (incl. reporting date) into Statbank (SQL DB) in advance • When reporting date occurs: • SDMX-ML files are automatically produced by a PL/SQL routine in the Statbank system • The SDMX-ML files can be routed to different folders/catalogues OECD Expert Group on SDMX 2007, Geneva 10 – 11 May 2007, Marianne Vik Dysterud - mvd@ssb.no

SDMX approach in Statistics Norway Experiences implementing SDMX Registry • Where to find the right tools and the right version • SDMX.org includes 2 links – both point to the same page (www.metadatatechnology.com/tools.html) • Download site has 2 links – one for beta version – one for version 1.0 – beta versions use to be newer, but … • We downloaded version 1.0 of the tools (Keymaster, Data Provisioning, Data Set Registration and SDMX Registry) + instruction and user guides OECD Expert Group on SDMX 2007, Geneva 10 – 11 May 2007, Marianne Vik Dysterud - mvd@ssb.no
SDMX approach in Statistics NorwayExperiences implementing SDMX Registry • different problems during first attempt of installation • SDMX Registry requires specific versions of third party applications • new try - looking for possible news • Link to the Registry installation was dead • One version of InstallRegistry.tar.gz found under third party folder • Is this what we are looking for ? • Inconsistency in SDMX_tools_Installation_instructions-v-2_0.pdf Example: SDMXRegistry2.war is this the same as ftp://www.metadatatechnology.com/pub/downloads/registry/installregistry.tar.gz?
