STREAMLINING DATA COMPILATION AND DISSEMINATION ILO Department of Statistics Edgardo Greising greising@ilo.org
Introduction • Why? • High maintenance costs • Low coverage • Problems of comparability between data • What? • Applications • Procedures • Objectives • Betterresponse rate • Reduceddelayin disseminating • More indicatorscovering the DW agenda • Improveoverall data quality
Agenda • The old system • Processoverview • IT considerations • The new approach • Processoverview • IT considerations • Conclusions
The old systemProcessOverview • Manualconsistency • No procedure to re-contact non-responding countries • Thousands of footnotes, dozens of them meaning exactly the same • “Source & Methods” metadata collected as text documents • Veracity relayed on huge workload • Declining response rate • Delayed publication release • High direct costs • Overburden to countries
The old systemIT considerations • Data stored in a hierarchicaldatabase • Time consuming «per sheet» uploadprocedure • Unfriendlyconsistencychecking program turneduseless • Data with errors not marked, could be published • No solution for “false positives” • Command line editor • Disconnected dissemination tools • Manual workflow management • High maintenance costs
The new approachProcessOverview • Country-centric approach • Broader interaction with countries • Off-line x-Questionnaire (Excel) • e-Questionnaire • EDI (SDMX) • Controlledvocabularyfootnotes system • Error-free data passed to the disseminationdatabase • New ILOSTAT websiteintegrated to Department of Statistics’ and ILO’s IKMG
The new approachIT considerations • Modular design following GSBPM • Oracle RDBMS and developmenttools • Automatedprocedure for xQ and SDMX uploadingwith structural consistency • E-Questionnaire online data collection • Single set of metadata • Single interactive consistencyprocedureregardless of data collection means • «False positives» handling thruallowanceissuing • Full screen data editor • Dynamic content dissemination website • Data workflow management module
