4. NATIONAL DATA TRANSMISSION DATA & METADATA DISSEMINATION
(EDAMIS)
DATA & METADATA DISSEMINATION
(EUROBASE)
Regardless of statistical domain, data have to arrive via EDAMIS.
Eurostat validates the data.
Data & metadata dissemination is via EUROBASE.
This is a generalised and simplified scheme, each domain implements various modalities, due to legal framework, historical evolution and specificities of data collection.

5. National data transmission to Eurostat
Semi-Automatic
Automatic
EDAMIS
EDIT
Database system
Improving efficiency of data production processes
Doing more with less resources: to be able to treat more countries or more data with the same number of people
Higher data quality, due to harmonised validations
EDIT: tool for data validation – basic sums, bigger or smaller than, men+woman = total …
Database: time series, data revisions
MDT, COMEXT, FAME, …
That why it's important to have a static questionnaire , not to change every year because it mean more work and adaptations on the programs on Eurostat tools ..the hope process needs to be adapted
EUROBASE
examples of automated production systems

6. Planned activities for 2018
To be able to finished the validation of all data and metadata internally within Eurostat
To update :
Crime EUROBASE during summer
Quality report
Metadata for crime
Statistical Explained articles on crime
Methodological user guide
To analyse internal production chain and propose improvement  we will inform you if any change has impact on you
To follow up the implementation of ICCS

7. We have received 38 out of 41 metadata files
Missing countries are : Belgium, Italy and The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia
Last year we had 2 questionnaires (UNODC and Eurostat) where metadata was integrated inside the questionnaires
This year we have 1 data questionnaire for both and one metadata file more detailed and structured, divided into 8 sections
We are developing new system in-house of extracting and validating the metadata files
Thank you for sending the Metadata questionnaires

8. METADATA FILE for data collection cycle 2017

9. Data and Metadata Collection
68% data received
37% data received

10. Metadata – Areas for improvements
Different language used in the metadata file
∆ Please send the questionnaires via EDAMIS in English.
Without 'Eurostat' sheet
∆ Please use the same questionnaires that Eurostat is sending by in the beginning, when the data is lunched.
Named wrong and mixed with data files name
∆ Please check if the file is metadata and name it properly and
select the correct EDAMIS dataset.
Information provided by countries was filled in the wrong cells causing troubles during validation.
∆ Please use the proper indicated cells for providing the answers or comments.

11. Metadata – validations
All the metadata files sent by countries are validated
32 countries will need to recheck some small issues relating on metadata file
Partially filled , or empty sheets
∆ Please check if all the sheets are filled before sending . If not please provide a comment or information the reason why is not filled.
Extent of missing metadata different from last year :
Uncertain counting rules
Stage of data collections
Coverage that were reported
Adult/Juvenile age thresholds
All countries are validated and soon and they will receive an for those who need to clarify some issues as it is shown in the presentation.

12. Dissemination of metadata
Last year specific differences in coverage and methodological rules were found in the Eurostat document 'Crime and Criminal Justice Reference Metadata at Country Level‘ (
This year we will produce 3 new metadata files and 1 will be updated M M M M

13. Reporting countries are invited to:
Comment on the extent to which the missing information referred to metadata by country could be improved.
Provide answers to the questions that will be sent by (validation of metadata)
Any other suggestion for further improvements

14. From April 1st , please send all s about ongoing data collections to:
