TRANSCRIPT
National Institute of Statistics, Geography and Informatics (INEGI)
Implementation of SDMX in Mexico
ROLES OF INEGI INEGI is a federal office that coordinates the production, standardization and dissemination of all statistical and geographical information of national interest
1.Main producer of statistical and geographical information of Mexico
2.Coordinator of other statistical information production Units
REASONS TO ADOPT SDMX IN MEXICO
Practical for many projects
Provides tools to improve statistical data and metadata exchange
IMPLEMENTATION KEY FACTORSPublicity of the standardComprehension of the standardPerception of usefulness Adoption by “a big enough group”
Multidisciplinary approachApplication to real projects
EXPERIENCE OF IMPLEMENTATION
Development of a common base of knowledge about the standardMeetings about the initiativeConceptual workshopsTechnical workshops
Application on small projects to test the conceptSimple applicationsOnly basic parts of the standardsUse of generic structures provided by the
standardEvaluation of the projectDissemination of the resultsIncorporation to more complex projects
CURRENT PROJECTSExchange of economical information with Bank of Mexico and SHCP (Federal Treasure Department)
Web service for querying of information in SDMX from the indicators database (Statistical Data Warehouse)
Website for statistical information exchange with OECD

WEBSITE FOR INFORMATION EXCHANGE WITH INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS
By now, we are working on the exchange of statistical information with OECD
The Website is part of the SISNIEG (The Information System of the National System of Statistical and Geographical Information)
It’s a mean of coordination among Mexican statistical information production units
Collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Mexico (SRE)
Our contribution to the NAWWE project is being developed and will be part of the site
IMPLEMENTATION STAGES1. Integration of data from the different
government offices in the site using existing formats
2. Gradual transformation of the information to SDMX formats
3. Development of web services to automate the information exchange

ACHIEVEMENTSThe areas of statistical information production from
INEGI have been capacitated on basic SDMX issues23 offices have already a login and a password to
deposit informationAbout 60 persons from 30 federal offices have been
trained on SDMX issuesConceptual aspectsTransformation of indicators to SDMX ML compact
modelSome producers have started to put information
in the siteSome of this information has been converted to
SDMX files already
INFORMATION SYSTEM FOR THE NATIONAL SYSTEM OF STATISTICAL AND GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION (SISNIEG)
It will be a nationwide system that will support:Production of statistical and geographical
informationCoordination of Mexican information producersDissemination of statistical and geographical
information of national relevance providing easy access mechanisms
Promotion statistical and geographical information use and knowledge
Information safeguardSDMX has been adopted as part of its
technological architectureThe website for international information
exchange is part of this system

DESCRIPTION OF OUR APPROACH1. Awareness of the standard
and development of skills2. Development of projects3. Addition of new adopters4. Return to the first step
PROCESS KEY DRIVERSCollegiate teams (participation of people from
statistics, technologies, etc. and from institutions with different attributions)
Perceived utilityCapacity development (task force, skills, etc.)No added costs (the standard is part of the
projects that we already need to develop)Make the standard adoption very easy to
follow (gradual adoption, incremental projects, structures designed from simple to complex, from simple files to elaborated systems)
FUTURE OF SDMX IN INEGIDevelopment of the SISNIEG
New agreements with other Mexican Institutions to establish electronic information exchange projects
Addition of NAWWE information
Evolution of the international information exchange site
CONCLUSIONS Sharing of gained experience on SDMX implementation with
other organizations is helpful to improve our development processes.
It’s difficult to find information like internationally agreed Data Structure Definitions and Code lists for certain domains. A repository with this information would be very useful.
Implementation of SDMX is not only about technological issues.We need documentation suitable for people from different
backgrounds.Existing documents like the content oriented guidelines and the
implementation guides are useful, but we also need some executive papers focused on persuading high levels of the organizations to support this initiative.
SDMX is a set of standards in a maturation process that has been evolving.
SDMX is robust enough to be considered as a technological driver to support big statistical projects that involve information exchange.
