MC Products and Sources- Other Topics
Open Data
Mixed mode
CSPA implementation
Administrative Data (Statistical Network)

HLG Communication
MC Products and Sources- Communication Surveys
What?About communicating/improving/measuring the value of official statistics
Two surveys (spring + autumn) sent to NSOs/IOs
Used by MCPS, CES TF on Value of OS, Workshop DissComm, …
Why? Share best practices!
Find collaboration opportunities!
Status: In-depth analyses Spring Survey (43 responses)
Tentative analysis Autumn Survey (already 47 responses)
MC Products and Sources- Workshops
UNECE Workshops onDissemination and Communication of Statistics
Data Collection
Washington DC, 27 April – 1 May 2015Back-to-back, one common day
Nine presentation sessions
50+ papers, 100+ participants, 48 organizations, 24 countries
Many group discussions (10 plenary, 8 small,1 panel)
Evaluation by participants (very) positive
MC Products and Sources- Linked Open Metadata Proposal (1)
Linked Open Metadata:• Common models and vocabularies • So far rarely available internally or for other users in open and
machine-actionable formats
Objective: Demonstrate the usefulness of linked metadata for the statistical community and to acquire hands-on experience in that field
Benefits:• Easiness of data access, e.g. machine readability• Quality tracking by comparing, reproducing, finding inconsistencies,
correct interpretation• Integration by linking data, e.g. searching multiple database at once
for combining data
MC Products and Sources- Linked Open Metadata Proposal (2)
WP 1: Build a dissemination system for core structural metadata• Define and implement a set of metadata (glossaries, classifications and code lists)
as part of a linked metadata dissemination system
WP 2: Build an information system supporting the HLG vision• This tool will contain a semantic coherent representation of the main HLG models
(GSPM, GAMSO, GSIM, CSPA service descriptions)• Possible use cases could be: defining national refinements of a model (e.g.
GSIM), attaching specific process descriptions to GSBPM sub-processes, etc.
WP 3: Project evaluation and sustainability plan• The evaluation will describe the results achieved with regard to the project's
objectives, the possible problems encountered and the lessons learned that can be useful for the NSIs or for other similar initiatives (for example DIGICOM)
MC Products and Sources- Data Integration Proposal (1)
“We must move from a paradigm of producing the best estimates possible from a survey to that of producing the best possible estimates to meet user
needs from multiple data sources” (Conny Citro)
Produce stable output with unstable ever changing inputs
Opportunities
Big data and administrative data
New technologies
Challenges
Increasing needs: timeliness, frequency and disaggregation
Less budget, lower response burden
Other statistics producers
It’s Time to Collaborate!
MC Products and Sources- Data Integration Proposal (2)
UNECE Modernisation Committee for Products and Sources 11
Integrating survey, admin, big data, non official data
Common data sets to collaborate in sandbox
Methodology, Metadata & Quality frameworks
MC Products and Sources- Constraints & Challenges
Large variety of topics
Limited and shifting capacity
Initiation of new members
“Silent” members
Other actors in same area
Inter-MC communication and coordination
MC Products and Sources- Way Forward
Changes proposedInternal organisation of MCPS
Create sub-groups for specific activities (ad-hoc members)
Invite active participants of workshops
Contributing organisations (via HLG)
Formal time allocation in work programme of members
Administrative/secretarial support from NSO staff
HLG
Promote inter-MC collaboration
Extra Slides
