1. CountryData SDMX for Development Indicators Metadata in DevInfo: Creation, Mapping and Registration

2. Metadata According to the ISO; “Metadata is data that defines and describes other data.” Perhaps, better visualized as layers within a pyramid. Information describing the data is more detailed as one moves down from the top of the pyramid.

3. “Structural” metadata 1.At the top of the pyramid is information essential for understanding the data Needs to explain the ‘basics’ of when, where, who and what?

4. Reference metadata 2. In the middle are explanatory notes and text generally located in the same “publication” provides a good description of the statistics definitions, key issues, limitations, etc., that can impact on the use of the data.

5. Methodological metadata 3. Detailed methodological information disseminated in publications / websites. These are potentially the source of the most detailed methodological information available. Some statistical agencies publish very detailed concepts, sources and methods for a number of their key statistics.

6. CountryData Metadata Structure Definition (MSD) background Developed by UNSD for CountryData Supports exchange of CountryData Indicator metadata between countries and UNSD Implemented in SDMX 2.0 Design to exchange higher level reference metadata Latest version (1.0) finalised in Dec 2012

7. DevInfo (Di) background Data and metadata dissemination software supported and promoted by UNICEF DevInfo7 (Di7) launched in Nov 2012 7 out of 11 project countries plan to share metadata through DevInfo Good support for metadata collation and exchange.

8. Mapping to the MSD Metadata mapping from DevInfo to MSD is much simpler than data mapping. MSD structure is simpler and no part is mandatory. Expectation that at least “Definition”, “Method of Computation” and “Process of obtaining data” are available.

9. Open metadata in admin tool…

10. Set metadata structure…

11. Edit metadata by indicator…

12. Export list to excel…

13. Export all or selection…

14. Create/ choose excel file…

15. Open excel file and edit…

16. Import file into di database…

17. Select excel file used to edit…

18. Import excel file used to edit…

19. New metadata imported…

20. Once the metadata is entered into the database, then can use “DX Remote Access” to update di7 web-based software in same way as data Once metadata exists in di7 web then metadata can be mapped and published which conforms with the CountryData MSD. Like for data, this is all done online through the di7 web-based repository through the administration profile, so let’s begin… Di Mapping Tool: Introduction

21. Getting Started…

22. Scroll down to ‘Registry’ menu

23. Log onto administrative profile

24. Prepare the Dbase for mapping

25. Prepares the SDMX artifacts

26. If DSD in place, ready to map…

27. Metadata mapping To map metadata, First, map the associated time series through (1 st stage) codelist and (2 nd stage) IUS Once this is complete move to mapping metadata

28. Metadata mapping

30. MSD Concepts

31. Map Metadata concepts

32. Confirm mapping saved

33. Final Step: Register the mappings

34. Final Step: Select mappings

35. Final Step: Generate SDMX-ML

36. Final Step: Complete

37. Exercise: Publish metadata Use unstats.un.org/unsd/demodiweb[1-6]unstats.un.org/unsd/demodiweb[1-6] Username = webmaster@xyz.comwebmaster@xyz.com Password = support@2012 Publish/ register the time series for 1. “Maternal mortality ratio (MMR)” 2. “Employment to population ratio” 3. “Share of women in wage employment in the non- agricultural sector” 4. “Infant mortality rate” 5. “Land under forest cover”

38. MSD Maintenance The mapping and registry tool allows users to edit and delete the MSD (has to be packaged with the DSD and uploaded in DevInfo). For when the MSD is updated, it is recommended to edit the DSD/MSD rather than delete MSD/DSD deletion has the effect of removing all the mappings and subscriptions used for that MSD/DSD
