ESSnet DataWareHousing Stocktaking Pieter Vlag, Viviana di Giorgi, Sonia Queresma
Questionnaire Starting Point • Data model perspective • Proces model perspective • Meta data very important • Position of Business Register in system ?? • Needs of other NSIs ESSnet DataWareHousing - questionnaire
Data model perspective MAIN MOTIVATION: FLEXIBLE + CONSISTENT OUTPUT ESSnet DataWareHousing: questionnaire
Process model perspective MAIN MOTIVATION: EFFICIENCY IN PROCESS ESSnet DataWareHousing Questionnaire
Questionaire • 21.3.2011: • 21 responses (one per country considered); • non-respons homogeneously distributed over Europe • Many countries mention that “DWH” work is in progress • or their system is partially implemented • Inconsistencies in the answers, possibly related due to • current vs. future situation • different perception of used terminology • Most countries sent in a ‘common view’, but….. • In case of >1 answer per country: answers on questions might differ ESSnet DataWareHousing Questionnaire
Questionaire • Good news ESSnet DataWareHousing Questionnaire
Motivations for DWH • CONCLUSION: • data-integration,datalinking and efficiency are main motivations ESSnet DataWareHousing Questionnaire
Questionnaire on perspectives • Thissuggests: • “Data model: ~ 9 countries • “ Process model” ~ 6 countries • “ mix of approaches” ~ 6 countries ESSnet DataWareHousing Questionnaire
Questionnaire: answers on perspectives II • Tworemarks: • “ Process model” : 6 countries > one-to-onecorrespondences : 4 countries • ifmaincharacteristic of “data model perspectives” = flexibility in output, • then most countries (17) have some “data model perspectives”in their system ESSnet DataWareHousing Questionnaire
Questionnaire: answers on perspectives II • GENERAL IMPRESSION: • preferred situation= data model perspective • In practice most countries start with a process model approach • (and expand it at a later stage) • -> “data model” / “process model” perspective description do NOT discriminate between the practices ESSnet DataWareHousing Questionnaire
Questionnaire: terminology • “data model” & “process model” perspectiveswereintroducedtwo express thattwomainmotivationsmaylead to starting a DWH • process efficiency • more flexible + consistent output • However, • questionnaire does notreveal a cleardinstinctionbetween these motivations • models are notexclusive • in practice a mix is used (mayberelated to “live phase” of the DWH • Proposal: use “data model perspective as idealsituation • ? ESSnet DataWareHousing Questionnaire
Meta data Conclusion: Meta data are considered as important, but are not always integrated in the systems (yet ?) Question: Which metadata to be used in DWH ? ESSnet DataWareHousing Questionnaire
Conceptual differences II Apparently differences in approaches ESSnet DataWareHousing Questionnaire
Conceptual differences: active versus passive Business register – not integral part Aggregate data surveys Cleaned input Output data Active DWH: processing and storage NOT separated Admin data micro data Active DWH: proccessing steps between storage census Time series Processed data I Processed data II Processed data III ESSnet DataWareHousing Questionnaire
Conceptual differences III DWH model/system Active (10) Passive (11) Business Reg. integral part (5) Business Reg. notintegral part (5) Business Reg. integral part (5) Business Reg. notintegral part (6) No relationship between (considered) active/passive datawarehouse and position of business register (in answers on questionnaire) ESSnet DataWareHousing Questionnaire
Conceptual differences • CONCLUSION: • implicitly, doubts about business case ?????? • output side: different statistical requirements are considered as complex ESSnet DataWareHousing Questionnaire
Conclusions Flexibility in output; data linking and efficiency in process are the main motivations for DWH ? “data model” and “process model” descriptions were helpful for the questionnaire, but should be used differenly in future. Meta data are – indeed – considered as important, and an interesting topic for this ESSnet to work out Two opinions about DWH: - active vs. passive - position of business register both are not linked to each other: but interesting topics for ESSnet to work out Different statistical requirements (=output ?) are considered as complicated and a possibly interesting topic for this ESSnet to work out Data confidentiality hardly mentioned ESSnet DataWareHousing Questionnaire
Continuation (advice) • Visit countries to obtain the details . • Focuss on: • - Meta data • - active vs. passive • position of business register • different statistical requirements • From SGA-2011provide requirements about these topics. ESSnet DataWareHousing Questionnaire
