If statistical organisations work together to define a common statistical production architecture ...

... sharing is easier!

CSPA development project Architecture Proof of Concept

Project Outcomes The CSPA approach works It promises increased: sharing interoperability collaboration opportunities

2014

Implementation of the CSPA

Services built Seasonal adjustment – France, Australia, New Zealand Confidentiality on the fly – Canada, Australia SVG generator – OECD SDMX transform – OECD Sample selection – Netherlands Linear error localisation – Netherlands Linear rule checking – Netherlands Error correction – Italy By the end of the year we will have several CSPA-compliant services (or components) in use. There are 8 currently being developed. Some in collaboration between organisations, others within individual organisations, but the important point is that they will share common specifications.

The CSPA Catalogue The catalogue (which is still in development) is the doorway to find information (a ‘catalogue’ of information, if you will). It will tell you information about what services already exist, what services are being built and who is building them, who has plans for building things in the future, and also allows you to share your plans and identify potential collaborators. The catalogue is currently made up of 5 layers, which are illustrated in this picture. The 5 existing layers are: Knowledge base/ virtual standards helpdesk: this already exists! It is an online resource where you can access all the standards (GSBPM, GSIM, CSPA, SDMX and DDI) Business plans and interests: This is still in development, and an initial form will be released this year. This will show what organizations are planning to work on, to allow you to get involved too. Business capabilities: This is still in development, and an initial form will be released this year. This will show what organizations’ existing capabilities are, so you can learn from those who have already done the things you are trying to do. Statistical services: This currently exists, being hosted by Eurostat. This is a list (and information about) all the existing CSPA compliant services Technical/supporting services: This currently exists, and is currently on Github.com (although may be moved in future). This is where all the actual services are stored (at a technical level, ie. code etc.) More layers of the catalogue are currently in development, so keep an eye on this for more excitement!
