HLG-BAS workshop Session III
Questionnaire responses of the HLG-BAS related groups
A. Born / A. Götzfried / J.M. Museux
2
Preparatory questionnaires were sent to all groups/committees related to the HLG-BAS in October 2011;
These groups are subdivided in three categories:
– CES groups: MSIS, METIS, etc. – ESS groups: ITDG, DIME, Sponsorship groups, etc.– Other groups such as Statistical Network, SDMX
groups, OECD groups etc.
The HLG-BAS itself reports to the Conference of European Statisticians.
The background
4
The questions asked to the groups were: • What are the current priorities of the group ? • How do you expect the priorities to change in the next 3 years? • To what extent do you think the current priorities of this group are
consistent with the HLG-BAS Strategic vision (regarding statistical processes and products)?
• How do you think the planned future activities of this group can contribute to the implementation of the HLG-BAS vision (regarding statistical processes and products)?
• Please identify up to three new areas of work which your group could take on to contribute to the implementation of the HLG-BAS Strategic Vision.
• Which phase(s) of the GSBPM are most closely related to the activities of this group?
• Which other international expert groups does this group have links to? (e.g. formal links to parent and subsidiary groups, and informal links to other expert groups working on related topics)

the HLG-BAS vision Groups Consistent with the vision Groups Consistent with the vision
SDMX Sponsors
Supports the streamlining and integration of statistical business processes for improving efficiency; not directly focussing on products
Cora/Core Consistent with the HLG-Bas vision; Core contributes to standardisation and industrialisation of processes and better quality of products;
ESSnet Standard.
DDI Fully consistent with the HLG-Bas vision; DDI supports business process integration; DDI metadata support IT tools, products etc.
Sponsorsip Standard.
SDMX/DDI dialogue
Integrated standards will streamline processes and the efficient development of products;
ESS Quality WG
Contributes to quality improvements for statistical processes and products
ESS MWG Fully in line with the HLG Bas strategy; harmonised metadata are a precondition for business process integration
HRMT HR development and strategies important for business process integration and standardisation
METIS Fully consistent with the HLG-Bas vision; owner of the GSBPM;
Stat. Network Fully compliant with the HLG Bas vision; contribute to business process integration; not directly focusing on products;
SDMX Expert group
Role of SDMX consistent with the main aims of the HLG-Bas vision in terms of processes and products
