IDARESA: Integrated Documentation and Retrieval Environment for Statistical Aggregates
Overview
A research project
funded by the European Union (DOSIS) |
Background |
IDARESA is a multinational European co-operation
designing and implementing a metadata-based statistical information
and data processing system targeted at the practical needs of statistical
agencies and offices in charge of supplying high-quality statistical
information. This project emphasises the harmonisation of statistical
data originating from different sources and contexts and CES's experience
in the creation of harmonised datasets for projects such as CATEWE,
VTLMT and HIP has played an important role in the design of the system.
Advanced information technologies and software engineering techniques
are being used to develop software which provides both a 'platform'
for data harmonisation and an interface which will allow data held
in different locations to be accessed and combined for secondary analysis.
