United Nations Economic Commission for Europe Statistical Division GSBPM in Documentation, Metadata and Quality Management Steven Vale UNECE steven.vale@unece.org
2
Introduction The original aim of the GSBPM was to standardise terminology for discussions on statistical metadata systems and processes But now it has many other uses: (Quotes from GSBPM 5.0)
3
Documentation “The GSBPM provides a structure for organizing documentation, promoting standardisation and the identification of good practices”
4
Process quality management “If a benchmarking approach to process quality assessment is to be successful, it is necessary to standardise processes as much as possible. The GSBPM provides a mechanism to facilitate this”
5
Integrating metadata and quality “The common framework provided by the GSBPM helps to integrate international work on statistical metadata and data quality by providing a common framework and terminology to describe the statistical business process”
6
Building organisational capability “The GSBPM can be used to develop a framework assess the knowledge and capability that already exists within an organisation, and to identify the gaps that need to be filled to improve operational efficiency”
7
Documentation Example: Armenia - 2011 Population Census
8
Similar approaches are now widely used in Russian-speaking countries

February 2014 – pilot surveys description Labour statistics Industry Statistics 10-12 June 2014, Nizhny Novgorod, Russia Belarus: Using GSBPM 5.0 to describe the existing statistical production processes
10
Results: gaps Identification of gaps in the existing processes 10-12 June 2014, Nizhny Novgorod, Russia Lack Lack of necessary documentation unsettled Existence of unsettled processes
11
EU Standards SIMS – Single Integrated Metadata Structure ESQRS – ESS Standard for Quality Reports Structure ESMS – Euro SDMX Metadata Structure EPMS – Euro Process Metadata Structure ESS-Inv – Standard for inventories of practices
12
Mapping SIMS to GSBPM Eurostat Metadata Task Force
14
Purpose of documentation Needs to be agreed before work starts! Examples: Knowledge management Succession planning Standardisation – understand the starting point! Metadata / quality management International reporting
15
What to document? For whole process: Summary of purpose Sources, outputs and users Links to other processes Costs?
16
What to document? For GSBPM sub-processes: Purpose Inputs and outputs Tools and methods Quality criteria When to move on to next sub-process Costs?
17
How to document? Aim for consistency with: GSIM information objects SIMS / ESMS / ESQRS / EPMS terminology Use a common template Store in a flexible database environment to facilitate extraction for different reporting purposes
18
How to document? Move towards standard documentation for common processes? Quicker and more efficient Incentive for standardisation!
19
GSBPM and Metadata 2013: Work to identify metadata flows within the GSBPM Linked to development of the Generic Statistical information Model (GSIM)
21
More guidance Phase 1 – legal basis Phase 2 – define concepts and methodology Phase 4 – capture process metadata Phase 7 – determine metadata to disseminate
22
Quality New quality indicators task team Canada, Hungary, Italy, Turkey, Eurostat Mapping existing national / EU quality indicators to GSBPM sub processes Determining generic quality indicators for each sub-process Report to Workshop on Standards, May 2015
23
Exercise Use the process map from the last session Step 1 – List items to document at the process level Step 2 – List items to document for 5 sub- processes
