SDMX  - Echange de données et de Métadonnées statistiques (SDMX)

The BIS, ECB, EUROSTAT, IMF, OECD, UN, and the World Bank have joined together to focus on business practices in the field of statistical information that would allow more efficient processes for exchange and sharing of data and metadata within the current scope of our collective activities.

The goal is to explore common e-standards and ongoing standardization activities that could allow us to gain efficiency and avoid duplication of effort in our own work and possibly for the work of others in the field of statistical information. We intend to do this by taking advantage of existing and emerging: # # dissemination formats, such as that implicit in the IMF’s Dissemination Standards Bulletin Board (DSBB); and # e-standards, such as Extensible Markup Language (XML).

We intend to do this by taking advantage of existing and emerging :

• exchange protocols, such as GESMES/CB which was implemented by central banks for exchanging time series;
• dissemination formats, such as that implicit in the IMF’s Dissemination Standards Bulletin Board (DSBB); and
• e-standards, such as Extensible Markup Language (XML).
