Data Sources Metadata on data sources are in DDI XML format: (a)Link from primary data source to secondary/ tertiary data sources (b)Link to nature of data points Country Data (C) Country Adjusted (CA) Estimated (E) Modelled (M) Global monitoring data (G) Non-relevant (N) ISSUE 4

The data source should link the user from UNSD (in this example) to the UN agency providing the data and on to the primary data source at country level.

Domains The expert working group is working on the creation of MDG domains and establishing methods for updating the related code lists, key families and indicator metadata. This will be very helpful for data exchange at national level. IUS: Linkages to goals, sectors, other classifications. RECOMMENDATION Build on subject matter expertise of the18 UN agencies of MDG expert working group ISSUE 5

MDG SDMX Registry The expert working group will be working on the creation of an MDG SDMX registry at global level. ISSUE 6

MDG Data Management The expert working group is working on an SDMX-ML compliant data collection mechanism: From national level to international level (UN agency) From UN agency to UNSD. The information in this spreadsheet will be transformed into an SDMX-ML format. ISSUE 7
