An important part of the strategic direction of .Stat is the support and promotion of the Statistical Data and Metadata standard eXchange (SDMX) format, an ISO standard for exchanging and sharing statistical data and metadata among organisations, in order to improve data accessibility and quality, and reduce costs.
.Stat already has the capacity to export data in an XML format that is a subset of the SDMX-ML modelling language. Also, a statistical chart generator, which enables API extraction of charts, maps and graphs from .Stat israel rcs data in SDMX-JSON format, has been developed by the OECD as a Common Statistical Production Architecture (CSPA) compliant service. work to further build the SDMX information model into .Stat, and some of this work was considered by the ATF at the workshop.
For example, the OECD is planning to incorporate SDMX attributes into the system. Attributes here can be things like a unit of measure, a currency, a power code, and can be attached to observations, dimensions, combinations of dimensions, and at dataset level. The usual method of providing this information at the moment is through separate reference metadata, but the aim is for it to be included within the data itself.
