Industrialisation and interoperability are the corner stones of the Vision & Joint Strategy implementation
Proposed prioritised strategic developments:
ESS is provided with a common reference architecture for building statistical instruments and production processes
The collaboration among different stakeholders along the same production processes is organised in an efficient way 2

3. ESSnet CORE – a proof of concept
Architecture for a statistical production system composed of several processes by assembling a set of independent services
Platform independent distributed architecture model ("plug and play" architecture)
Flexible design of statistical processes
Reuse of existing software components
Services to be developed independently or cooperatively and shared
Common information model to support communication between services and their automation
Process registry which stores and makes available reference production processes 3

4. CORE in the ESS – issues
Scope of CORE in the ESS in the 5 to 10 years ?
A technical standard for tool development/sharing in the ESS and beyond ?
A framework for optimising key multi stakeholders sub-processes ?
Improvement of technical architecture: Prototypes development 4 4

5. ESS-VIP supporting the deployment of CORE
