1 Strategic vision of the HLG-BAS High-Level Group on Strategic Developments in Business Architecture in Statistics Steven Vale UNECE

2 Background HLG-BAS created by the Bureau of the Conference of European Statisticians in 2010 Mission: To oversee and guide discussions on developments in the business architecture of the statistical production process, including methodological and information technology aspects

3 HLG-BAS Members Netherlands - Gosse van der Veen (Chairman)
Australia - Brian Pink Italy - Enrico Giovannini Slovenia - Irena Krizman United States - Katherine Wallman Eurostat - Walter Radermacher OECD – Martine Durand UNECE - Lidia Bratanova Observers METIS – Alice Born (Canada) MSIS – Rune Gløersen (Norway) SAB – Marton Vucsan (Netherlands) The members of the HLG-BAS are all heads of national or international statistical organisations. The chairs of the 3 main UNECE groups related to this work, participate in the HLG-BAS as observers.

4 HLG-BAS Strategic Vision
Endorsed by the Conference of European Statisticians on 14 June Perspective Challenges Vision The next task of the HLG-BAS was to develop a strategic vision to help coordinate the activities of all these groups, and provide agreed common goals. This vision will be presented to the heads of national and international statistical organisations from around the world, at the meeting of the Conference of European Statisticians next week in Geneva. The following slides will give you an idea of the main points of the strategic vision.

5 Some perspective: The internet has 1800 exabytes of data in 2011
The amount of data in the world is growing rapidly. It has increased by a factor of ten in the last 5 years.

6 We live in exponential times 50,000 exabytes by 2020 27 fold growth in
the next 9 years ... and it is forecast to grow by 27 times by And it will probably keep on growing.

7 Are these data interesting?
Probably 99.9% are videos, photos, audio files, text messages and other nonsense But that still leaves 1,800,000,000,000,000,000 bytes of potentially relevant data However, a lot of this growth is due to videos, photos, audio files, text messages, and other communications that are of little interest for statistics. But even if only 0.1% of data are interesting, this is still a huge amount.

8 High Level Group Vision:
We have to re-invent our products and processes and adapt to a changed world Given these challenges the HLG-BAS thinks it is time to act, and to do so in a coordinated way, as a global statistical community. We have to change the way we produce statistics, because we have no choice. The world is changing and we have to adapt.

9 The Challenges are too big for statistical organisations to tackle on their own. We need to work together

10 Other international initiatives
“Industry” standards Generic Statistical Business Process Model Generic Statistical Information Model Statistical Data and Metadata eXchange Data Documentation Initiative

11 Other international initiatives
New collaborative networks “Statistical Network” Sharing Advisory Board ESSNet projects SDMX / DDI Dialogue

12 Industrialise statistical production
Statistical Concepts Information Concepts conceptual GSBPM GSIM Common Generic Industrial Statistics Methods Technology practical Statistical HowTo Production HowTo

13 Industrialising processes
Standards save money New methods and architectures for large volumes of data Minimise labour, innovate Collaborate to spread the burden Standardising will save money, which we need for developing new methods and processes to cope with the large volumes of data. We also have to reduce the amount of labour involved in statistical production. Because the investment needed will be substantial, it makes sense that statistical organisations should collaborate to spread the burden.

14 Next steps Autumn 2011: workshop for representatives of the expert groups in the inventory to develop a strategy to implement the vision June 2012: Strategy presented to Conference of European Statisticians Hopefully the Conference of European Statisticians will endorse this vision next week. As a next step the HLG-BAS plans to hold a workshop for representatives of the groups identified in the inventory, to explain the vision and to develop a strategy on how to implement it in a coherent way.
