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: This is the first draft of Part B, released for the March 2010 Work Session on Statistical Metadata. It will be extended and improved over the coming months. Comments and suggestions are welcome, and can be sent to support.stat@unece.org.

III. Relationships between Resources

This section contains diagrams showing the relationships between the different resources described in Section II.


IV. Other Resources

This section is for links to resources not described in Section II, but which still might be of interest to those developing Statistical Metadata Systems. These are typically resources that are primarily related to domains other than statistical metadata, resources that are only applied in one country, and resources which are now considered to be obsolete. References to home-pages of metadata-related projects are also included.

Please send any suggestions for additional links to support.stat@unece.org.

  • CLASET (Standard for exchange of statistical classifications)
  • Metanet (Metadata Network of Excellence project 2000 - 2003)
