New OECD Statistical Information System
 Core element of OECD Strategy for Statistics



Increase the efficiency of statistical processes
Improve the quality of statistical data and
metadata -- notably timeliness and coherence
Enhance the accessibility of OECD statistical
resources for both internal and external users
 Encompasses all aspects of statistical
activities
A cooperative effort
Producers of statistics
Users of statistics


OECD staff
External clients
PAC, ITN and STD



Manage projects
Supply infrastructure
Provide support
SIS Design Principles
 Preserve the decentralised nature of
directorates’ statistical activities ..... while
making their data part of a coherent corporate
system
 Build component elements that that can
function independently …… and which are fully
interoperable with each other
 Make innovative use of emerging technology
standards (e.g., XML, Web Services, SDMX)
Three Inter-operating Layers ….
Production layer


StatWorks – modern production environment
MetaStore – coherent management of metadata
Storage Layer

OECD.Stat – validated data and metadata
Dissemination layer


User interfaces
PubStat – publications management
…. Supported by a WorkFlow system

Review of processes
Overall goals (2)
Quality



Coherence of concepts & data
Timeliness
Good metadata
Visibility

Greater visibility of statistical products
Flexibility

Separate storage, processing, dissemination
Metadata Principles
Statistical data being shared or
disseminated, internally or externally,
must have appropriate metadata
Statistical metadata must be consistent
Metadata must be created only once
For each dataset there must be someone
with responsibility for metadata
