EDAMIS – What’s there, what’s coming?4-Feb-2011

EDAMIS Lunchtime Presentation – Intro

� EDAMIS is a running production system – 50 000 files received in 2010– 30 000 connections to eWP made by 1661 different users.

� Survey on Web Forms made by E2 (Agriculture) in 2010– 400 data providers, 50% response rate– 86 % of providers had a good or very good opinion of the system– performance remains the biggest issue

� The 2008 DM decision to make the Single Entry Point mandatory for all regular transmissions will be reinforced by the new regulation on the harmonisation of the data and metadata exchange for European statistics

EDAMIS – What is it?

� EDAMIS Web Portal (EWP)� Inventory

– Defines domains and datasets(periodicity, confidentiality, timetable,…)

– Links datasets with senders, receivers, domain managers

� EDAMIS Web Forms (EWF)– “Excel-like” user interface for small data collections– Automatically produces SDMX in the background– Real-time on-screen validation

� Reporting– Who needs to send what and when?– Who did actually send what and when?

In Production Today – Want to use it?

� EDAMIS Validation Engine (EVE) � Automatic Reminders� Enhanced Management of Preferences (emails)� Enhanced Web Service Interface

� Changes in EDAMIS Web Forms• Sub-Nomenclatures for easier management• Using SDMX DSDs to define Web Forms• No new templates with multiple tabs (SDMX compliance)• Automatic locking of past/future reference periods

EDAMIS Validation Engine

� For SDMX-ML transmissions� First level validation

– Format– Code lists– Mandatory, Range– Basic expressions

� SDMX Implementation Lunchtime Presentation– 11 February 2011 (units B6, B5, B3, Syslog 355625)

� EDAMIS Validation Training– 17 March 2011 (Syslog 332143)

Automatic Reminders

� Sends automatic emails to data senders– End of reference period, before or after deadline

� Helps to improve inventory, timeliness and coverage

� EDAMIS � Inventory � Manage Datasets �(Select Domain) � (Select Dataset) � Tab “Timelines”

EDAMIS – What’s there, what’s coming?4-Feb-2011

Planned in EDAMIS 3.2 – Hope you like it!

� Feedback transmission� Management of datasets with mixed periodicity � Improved routing mechanism

– 1 Sending Org � 1 Dataset � 1 Receiving Org removed:limited auto-forwarding and delegation of rights

– Will support multiple sending and receiving organisations

– INF role for any user– Principle of responsible organisation is kept

� Improvements in EDAMIS Workflow Manager� Changes in EDAMIS Web Forms

– Collection of textual information possible

– Data sender can show/hide rows

Feedback Transmission

� Feedback based on transmissions� Follow-up in traffic reports� Shared between all data receivers� Validation reports, feedback from Eurostat, PPP group, …� Less “outgoing” datasets

Mixed Periodicity

� Periodicity of data is different to periodicity of transmission� Examples

– QA for quarterly data transmitted once a year• Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 2010 all received in July 2011

– AS for annual data transmitted twice a year• Estimated data with 6 months delay• Final data with 12 months delay

� Better management oftimetables, reminders, coverage indicators

EDAMIS – What’s there, what’s coming?4-Feb-2011

Planned for the future – What you told us:� Periodicity of 10 years (RFC 497)� We want multiple tabs in Web Forms back! (RFC 503)

– Will be analysed in connection with SDMX possibilities� Management of modules and PLANe (RFC 505)� ECAS authentication (RFC 506)� New features for the EDAMIS Validation Engine

– Enhanced validation capabilities (RFC 498, 508)– Allow or block non-SDMX transmissions (RFC 501)– Allow custom validation for data senders (RFC 502)– Improve user interface (RFC 507)– All RFCs will be analysed as one package

� Feedback from ongoing projects – VIP for validation– TRIS2 (validation of confidential data, web services, …)– CAB Review
