A brief background to collaboration MSIS 2012OECD’s Statistical Information System Collaboration Community Sharing of OECD’s statistical information systems modules: –StatWorks –MetaStore –OECD.Stat (including OECD eXplorer) First shared with IMF in 2007 as a joint development project Today there are 7 members in addition to OECD as lead Based on bilateral agreements Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed with each organisation, Interest has now grown with strong and formal expressions of interests from a number of other institutions.

Many obvious advantages MSIS 2012OECD’s Statistical Information System Collaboration Community Savings in time and resources Enables standards (such as SDMX) Gives a positive message to stakeholders Facilitates creation of joint products In line with the HLG-BAS philosophy

Enabling standards: SDMX Data exchanges with NSOs (iStat, ABS) Data exchanges with other IOs (IMF..) MSIS 2012OECD’s Statistical Information System Collaboration Community

New Visualisations – the integration of eXplorer.Stat now includes eXplorer visualisation component, any data selection from the 700+ datasets available can now be viewed as an animated graphic using: –maps, –bubble charts, –line charts, –and histograms. Visualisations can be customised and shared among groups, provides a new dimension for data discovery and storytelling based on the latest available data.
