  2. Classification dimensions • who needs the metadata, and why, for which purposes (e.g. exploratory and explanatory)? • what do the metadata inform about: metadata (attachment) objects and metadata variables (items)? • how are the metadata structured and formalised (or not), and how are they organised? • where do the metadata come from (source processes) and where they go (use processes)

  3. Statistical metadata by usage/purpose – metadata use process • (Re)development of a statistical system • Operation and monitoring • Evaluation of a statistical system

  4. Metadata by use process (1)

  5. Metadata by use process (2)

  6. Metadata by use process (3)

  7. Statistical metadata by contents • system/subsystem/process • input/output data (statistical data – metadata – process data) • conceptual object • observation characteristic • population • variable • value set • value • target characteristic • population • variable • value set • value • statistical measure • instrumental resource • data collection – Metadata collection – Process data collection • software • documentation • methods • knowledge & experiences • persons & organisations • equipment & localities • financial resources
