Moving into the 21 st Century: The IMF’s Transition to Web Dissemination of Its Statistical Data ESDS International Annual Conference London, November

Home Current Situation First Steps Next Steps Vision for EDW The Current Situation “Traditional” products in print & CD-ROM ♦ Balance of Payments Statistics ♦ Direction of Trade Statistics ♦ Government Finance Statistics ♦ International Financial Statistics Supporting statistical materials in print and the web ♦ Manuals and Guides ♦ Pamphlets ♦ Official Reports

Home Current Situation First Steps Next Steps Vision for EDW The Current Situation A mix of “Online” products, different formats ♦ IFS (à la the CD-ROM) ♦ Static online tables: ♦ International Reserves ♦ Coordinated Portfolio Investment Survey ♦ Currency Composition of Foreign Exchange Reserves Coming soon online: ♦ Balance of Payments Statistics ♦ Direction of Trade Statistics

Home Current Situation First Steps Next Steps Vision for EDW The Current Situation The challenges: How to shift from a print-centric world to a web world and provide a coherent offering of data, medadata, and supporting information? How to communicate rather than disseminate statistics to many different audiences? How to shift from “output driven” to “outcome driven” dissemination? How to balance commitment to the public good with the need to generate revenue?

Home Current Situation First Steps Next Steps Vision for EDW First Steps... Spring 2005: Two studies commissioned: ♦ Qualitative Usership Research of traditional products (by Research Perspectives) ♦ Review of Best Practices for Web Dissemination of Data (by Sabatier Consulting) Fall 2005: Some hard lessons learned. Research indicated that users found our products: ♦ Not especially user-friendly ♦ Difficult to search and navigate ♦ A lack of information on definitions and changes ♦ Print publications were required to understand data

Home Current Situation First Steps Next Steps Vision for EDW Next Steps... How should we begin to address these issues? A multi- step approach that has involved many contributors: ♦ The Statistics Department held a retreat to consider new strategies and how to change the business model. A reorganization of the department is in progress. ♦ Strengthened partnership between data providers and the External Relations Department. ♦ An FTP site introduced for data redistributors to ensure timely availability of data. ♦ introduced to improve responsiveness. Remedy software adopted to assign and track queries. A query library created to ensure consistency of

Home Current Situation First Steps Next Steps Vision for EDW Next Steps... Lessons learned from reviews of best practices and from colleagues in statistical offices: ♦ Develop a web environment focusing on themes and the tasks the users need to perform and offering visual representations. ♦ Cross-reference print and electronic products. ♦ Provide comprehensive metadata in clear English (“the democratization of metadata”). ♦ Provide robust search capabilities based on everyday terms as well as expert taxonomies. ♦ Survey users regularly. ♦ Offer helpful customer service.

Home Current Situation First Steps Next Steps Vision for EDW Next Steps... Challenges ahead: ♦ Designing a user-friendly and user-centric web site. ♦ Reviewing content to meet user needs. ♦ Organizing and determining the extent of metadata needed. ♦ Strengthening client support. ♦ Selecting a data delivery technology. ♦ Developing marketing, education, and revenue strategies.
