3. eDamis EDIT + .csv Error report Import + publication
Data delivered by eDamis to our directory
EDIT + .csv
EDIT scans for .csv files, imports to EDIT, validates
Error report
Errors returned to NSI
Import + publication
This is what happens when a datafile is sent by eDamis.

4. EDIT + CSV Check structure Check duplicates
Extract relevant data from production database
Merged datafile validated
EDIT + CSV
The validation goes through three steps:
Rough checks for right structure, right type, numbers where expected etc.
Then it checks for duplicates in the file. If there are any errors in these steps, the datafile is rejected.
Step 2: EDIT extracts relevant data from the production database
Step 3:Validates the merged file for consistency etc, also time series checks.

5. eDamis EDIT + .csv Error report Import + publication
Data delivered by eDamis to our directory
EDIT + .csv
EDIT scans for .csv files, imports to EDIT, validates
Error report
Errors returned to NSI
Import + publication
Back to the workflow chart.
The EDIT + .csv part can be accessed online by you.

6. Web-access
You can do it to!
If you ask for access .

7. To validate a file, upload it to EDIT using "File selection"
Parameters are set to a default, but you can (I think)
Change max accepted difference per year
Check only the data file uploaded
Validate all data in the database for one country

8. EDIT – now coming soon Structure check Inter dataset checks with
Type check other regional data
Length check
Range check
Presence check
Allowed characters check
Code list check 
Uniqueness check
Control check
Spatial level control check
Time series check

9. All data with reference year 2008 or later has been checked
All data received validated using the program

10. What you can do Send datafiles in comma separated value format
Validate data using EDIT
Check "old" data using EDIT
You are not forced to, but it would help if you could:
Send datafiles through eDamis, only in .csv format.
Instead of setting up your own validation system, use ours, EDIT is easy to access online, just ask.
If you want you can check all the exiting data, also before 2008
