Suggested Inputs
1. Mapping of different data and
metadata standards
2. Documentation about
technical initiatives such as
DDI, SDMX, CORE
3. Mobilisation of the community
utilising the wiki
4. Information architecture
models
5. Stakeholder views from
METIS, EuroStat, SDMX, DDI
Work to be undertaken
Contributor
Some indicative context mapping is
underway at the level of Relationships
between Resources as shown in Part B of
the UNECE Common Metadata Framework
(CMF). This shows what existing
standards (rather than a blank sheet of
paper) might contribute to design of GSIM
and then (more importantly) how GSIM
could help align data and metadata
standards from a business perspective in
future. At this stage it is not proposed to
attempt more detailed mapping in advance
of the Sprint.
It is proposed a sheet will provide links to
documentation information about other
information standards (eg CMF Part B,
relevant discussion documents from
SDMX/DDI Dialogue). In regard to CORE,
a presentation will also be arranged. Have
assumed to date that we don’t need
presentation on GSBPM.
GSIM Sprint section established on the
METIS wiki for publication of background
papers, research and discussion. Invites
contribution from interested stakeholders.
Broad models on the context of GSIM have
been developed. At this stage it is not
proposed to present more detailed
architectural models in advance.
Interviews will be conducted with
nominated participants agreed by the HLG-
ABS

6. Interviews with HLG-BAS
members

business areas with an
understanding of IM
8. Teleconference with people

BAS Secretariat.
Current list (beyond Secretariat) is
 Participants in Sprint
 Members of OCMIMF collaboration
 Dan Gillman
 Isabel Morgado
 Statistics Korean (if don’t
participate)
 August Goetzfried (SDMX
Secretariat)
 Mary Vardigan (DDI Alliance)
(Even wider coverage would be ideal, but
arranging, conducting and synthesising
interviews is resource intensive.)
Are there any additional stakeholders
to interview prior to Sprint 1?
Note also that all stakeholders have the
opportunity to contribute views on the wiki
Continued engagement will occur with
interested stakeholders throughout the
Sprints, as required.
Should we also conduct interviews with
some or all HLGBAS members?
(Secretariat decision)
There are participants with business and
methodology backgrounds in the Sprint,
and also input from interviews and from
HLG-BAS itself. Is further required in
advance in this regard and, if so, what
would the Secretariat suggest?

who would like to participate
but can’t attend
9. Intelligence and other
approaches from other sectors
10. Enterprise architecture
models and standards
associated with these
11. Is there a possibility of
developing a common
taxonomy and thesaurus for
NSIs?
12. Consider lifecycle
management for GSIM so it
can adapt to future
requirements
13. Build on what we have –
don’t start from scratch
Work to be undertaken
currently includes US, Portugal. There
could be one further multipoint discussion
before the Sprint based on expressions of
interest via the METIS wiki page?
Summary information about different
approaches from other industries. At the
moment this will be based on one case
study (air space management) undertaken
by the ABS. Are there other suggestions,
and possibly volunteers?
It would be possible to provide summary
information about enterprise architecture
and standards. At the moment not
prioritised ahead of other input by the
ABS.
This is currently seen as a consideration to
be addressed in the Sprint scope
discussion rather than an area for a lot of
work prior to the Sprint.

OCMIMF GSIM project presentation. Other
background material (eg timeline) related
to previous initiatives such as MetaNet.
In more general terms, this will be a
recommended practice for the Sprint.
