2. Purpose and Scope
Data is an important asset for statistical organisations
Various aspects:
Determining the meaning and therefore (potential) value of data
Usability: is it in a useable form?
Governance & security
The project assignment (Nov 2016 Workshop) talks about “data architecture”, “external data sources and off-site data” and “semantic interoperability and metadata management”
Scope: GSBPM phases 1 thru 7

Architecture valid for different Categories of data
Semantic Layer to share the “meaning” of different data
