The task team aims to facilitate SDG data transmission through exchanging knowledge and experiences on the application of transmission standards (such as SDMX) and transmission methods and similar tools (such as APIs) that make automatisation of data transmission possible. The task team focuses on data transmission techniques and tools. It takes into account the context of data transmission (national reporting platforms or data flow relationships between countries and agencies i.e. the ‘nodes’ of data flow) if necessary, but does not focus on it.
The task team is co-chaired by Otis Bath (UK Office for National Statistics (ONS)) and Claire Plateau (French National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE)).
