Part B offers an overview of existing resources (standards, concepts, models, best practices and other methodological materials), which are likely to be applicable when designing and implementing statstical metadata systems. It is designed primarily as an Internet publication, so that it can be kept as up to date as possible.

Please note: Part B is a living document, it is regularly reviewed for accuracy and relevance. Comments and suggestions are welcome, and can be sent to support.stat@unece.org.
