  2. The “European Census 2011” challenge • UN’s Economic and Social Council’s resolution 2005/13: urging countries for population and housing census between 2005 and 2014 • Regulation (EC) No 763/2008 of the European Parliament: 2011 European Census • Required: • Unprecedented level of detail and volume of data • Comparable results for 32 countries • Dissemination of census results in a timely manner

  3. The “European Census 2011” challenge EU Member States and EFTA countries collect micro data: • 37 statistical variables • 4 main areas: persons, housing units, private households, families • Using a variety of data collection methods • From different sources • At different times … to disseminate results (macro data): • At level of municipality (Geographical granularity ± 130 000 units) • Grouped in 95 hypercubes (60 data / 35 metadata)

  4. What did we need? • Environment • to disseminate massive amounts of harmonised data • which is easy to use (and reuse) • Single point to access • census results for 32 NSIs • numerical and textual metadata • Possibility to compare and cross-tabulate • Availability from 31st March 2014 until 2025 • Not required:Validation or aggregation on the fly

  5. What is the European Census Hub ? The project: • Interoperability initiative with 32 countries participating • Business driven The technical solution – Hub architecture: • Single information system to query and visualise data for 32 countries • Framework to expose in a unified format statistical data stored in multiple dissemination databases

  6. Single entry point to Census 2011 - data and metadata - Eurostat European Commission Census Hub NSI A NSI B

  7. Standardisation of the approach SDMX (STANDARD, EXCHANGE, METADATA, REPOSITORY) SMD tool DSD DSD WEB SERVICES Mapping Assistant Mapping store DSD Web Client SDMX question SDMX answer Test Client Census Hub Non-SDMXlocal database

  8. Challenges andpotential for the future • Data availability depends on country node availability • Response time slower than with a central DB • 32 DBs to be kept until 2025 Synchronising in a centralised database ? • Some basic data derivation could be implemented

  9. As of today, the European Census Hub offers … • User interface to extract data using statistical variables as data filters • Most up-to-date results • Portal for data dissemination based on SDMX • Reusable components • Universal modules for data exchange via SDMX Web Service … Census 2011 results for 29 countries
