CVD Antonio Consoli - Eurostat B1 Item 3.3.2 of the Agenda CVD Antonio Consoli - Eurostat B1
Intro CVD = Statistical Business Process (French = Cycle de Vie des Données) The new CVD project was launched in 2004 with 2 main objectives: Rationalisation of existing IT systems. Harmonisation of IT architecture. Create economies of scale Make maintenance of organisation software simpler The gradual implementation has now started
Component concept Generic tools Generic production systems CVD is not a monolithic system to be used in all statistical domains but it is composed of: Limited set of production systems Set of generic specialised components, which can be used by the production systems Guidelines for implementation, development, data exchange Generic tools Generic production systems GSAST NAPS (GPS) COMEXT (GCOMX) Existing production systems eDAMIS (data collection) BBs (Building Blocks): load, edit, outliers, derivation, seas. adj., confid. discl. control, etc. MH (Metadata Handler) EUROBASE - reference database COMEXT - dissemination database Data Explorer - SAM, - Eurocube, - FAME
Practical steps in implementation of CVD Common SEP and reference / dissemination in place Looking for opportunities - gradual migration to production systems Proliferation of BBs in existing applications Development based on generic solutions Communicating the CVD in Eurostat Participating to international projects linked to CVD
Overview 2011 Single components are used for: Data exchange: eDAMIS Management of metadata: MH Specialised statistical processing components: BBs Reference: EUROBASE Dissemination: COMEXT and Data Explorer CVD production systems target: Most applications in social statistics and microdata treatment: Generic SAS tool (GSAST) National accounts applications: NAPS. Generic production system (GPS) External trade and energy statistics, etc.: Generic COMEXT based system (GCOMX) If no migration to CVD production systems then current systems: SAM and Eurocube: Linked to BBs, maintained FAME: maintained, (note: migration analysis needed)
