E N D
1. The Banca d’Italia’s active statistical meta-information system Vincenzo Del Vecchio, Banca d’Italia, Statistical Services Department
delvecchio.vincenzo@insedia.interbusiness.it
2. The information context
3. BI statistical inform. system
4. Common data magnitude order Periodical surveys:
on supervised institutions > 50
from Internal sources > 10
Data definitions (arrays):
> 100 thousands
Data records:
total > 3 billion
increment rate > 500 million per year
5. Reuse of software packages
6. Package Architecture
7. Advantages
8. The metadata architecture
9. CONCEPTS: types SETS
Example: the set of the italian cities
ELEMENTS
Example: a single city (Roma, Milano, ...)
VARIABLES
A specific meaning of a set (example: the city of birth, the city of residence, the city of work)
10. CONCEPTS: relations VARIABLE
take values in a
SET
contains
ELEMENTS
11. Part set structure
12. CONCEPTS: characteristics Abstractions of real world and their relationships
Hystorical
existing in a time period
changing with time
Referenced by data definitions
13. Data: the Statistical Function
14. Statistical Function: types ARRAY (many times, many groups)
TIME SERIES (many times, 1 group)
CROSS SECTION (1 time, many groups)
ARRAY: like KEY FAMILY in GESMES/CB
TIME SERIES: like a single KEY in GESMES/CB
ARRAY: like a time slice of a key familyARRAY: like KEY FAMILY in GESMES/CB
TIME SERIES: like a single KEY in GESMES/CB
ARRAY: like a time slice of a key family
15. Statistical Function definition Independent variables
Classification variables
Time variables
Dependent variables
Attributes
Domain
Definition Domain
Knowledge domain Independent variables = statistical concepts
Dependent variables = cell
Attributes = attributes
Definition domain = cartesian product of list of values
+ compatibility rule
Knowledge domain=updated runtime
subspace of definition domain
es. dates, reporting subjects, ...

16. Transformation
17. Transformation
18. Some algorithm types Aggregation (multi-dimensional)
Domain transformation (e.g. MD to TS)
Function composition, e.g.:
Algebraic & math. (+,-,*, /, log, …)
Logical & Comparison (and, or, not, >, =, ... )
Statistical (mean, min, max, …)
Time processing (shift, period conversion, …)
Relational (join, space & code conversion, …)
19. Transformation path
20. Information sys.architecture
21. Architecture trend
22. Unique active dictionary Statistics production
Quality improvement
Data sharing and harmonizing
Knowledge management
23. The BI metainformation system Thank you
