SDMX pilot? • Format is arbitrary – why not use SDMX-ML instead? • Requires a key family specifically for the data represented on this page. • Each agency could then produce a file or files following the SDMX standard which could be picked up instead. SDMX Conference 9-11 January 2007

Where we are • Key family and supporting files created. • Following the SDMX compact schema • Most agencies are ready to go • Personnel transitions have led to some delays. SDMX Conference 9-11 January 2007
Work in progress • We’re hoping to be able to go forward very shortly. • After pilot, we can show others how to use SDMX to aid inter-agency exchanges. • E-gov is on the horizon – we’re a step or two ahead. SDMX Conference 9-11 January 2007
