1. eDAMIS – Statistics of usage
16th Meeting of the Working Group of Local Coordinators for Data Transmission
13-14 March 2006
Agenda Item 10
eDAMIS – Statistics of usage
V. Tronet 2

2. Statistics on the usage of the data transmission tools
What will be presented:
Main reports available in DTC
Reports available on CIRCA
Main reports available today in eDAMIS
Other reports available tomorrow in eDAMIS
Suggestion: Detailed annual report per country
FAQ
Conclusions

3. Main reports available in DTC (1/4)
+ Clear view about situation and annual evolution in each country
+ « First transmission of dataset occurrences » => retransmissions not counted
+ 3 months period => limit impact of monthly evolutions (e.g. end of months = week end)

4. Main reports available in DTC (2/4)
+ Clear view of the main transmission channels
- no evolution

5. Main reports available in DTC (3/4)
+ Clear view of the main formats
- no evolution

6. Main reports available in DTC (4/4)
+ View of the main formats
+ Evolution

7. Report available on CIRCA (eDAMIS Help Centre)
Extract
+ Detailed report
+ Complete view on one year
+ Comparison per country
- Difficult to exploit (totals, …)

8. Reports available today in eDAMIS (1/2)
Data file traffic of “Road A1 Q” received between Feb and April 2005 (extract)

9. Reports available today in eDAMIS (2/2)
Dataset occurrences of “Road A1 Q” received between Feb and April 2005 (extract)
Volume and number of files

10. Reports available in future in eDAMIS
Missing information:
what has not been sent after the maximum delay
what is expected in the next period
what is the quality of the data files received
global indicators (including SEP coverage indicator) by country, organisations, Statistical domains, ...
Solutions:
CVD Manager integration: timetable – see point 12
validation engine: report results of the validation integrated with the data file and dataset occurrence traffic
further development of the MIS

11. Suggestion: detailed annual report per country (1/3)
Goals:
give each Local Coordinator a complete picture of data transmission from his/her country
details for the NSI & overview for the other organisations of the country
clean/update the database (users, groups, …)
detect bad practices
improve coverage of the SEP

12. Suggestion: detailed annual report per country (2/2)
Contents (first ideas):
list of organisations, transmission means, obligations to send (datasets) and SEP coverage (by country, organisation and statistical domain)
by NSI users, for each dataset linked, how many have been sent and last date of transmission
detect too many retransmissions, transmission modes used ( , eWA, eWP), bad envelopes, problems in content validation, format issues, delays, …
comments to highlight the main strengths and areas of possible improvements

13. FAQ and issues
obligations to send not yet taken into account => lower SEP coverage ratio for Countries with less obligations (Situation will improve with update of dataset inventory)
eDAMIS almost exclusively covers NSI and NCB => lower SEP coverage ratio for decentralised countries (situation will improve with availability of eWP to upload data files for small Organisations)
multiple retransmissions: situation already satisfactory: they are not counted in dataset occurrences and coverage ratios

14. Conclusions all reports will be integrated into eDAMIS (eWP-MIS)
improvement of the relevance of the reports =>
Up to date dataset inventory (obligations to send and sending Organisations)
All transmissions covered by eDAMIS (eWP).
most important indicator: SEP coverage ratio
improvement of the coverage ratio, good practices and up to date database => need to provide clear reports at the National and NSI levels
always possible to produce ad-hoc statistics based on the tracking of what has been received and the dataset inventory. Interesting ad-hoc statistics could be integrated into the MIS later on.
