1 ESS Shared SERVices project Background, Status, Roadmap Modernisation Workshop 16/17 March Bucharest

2 Table of contents 1. Background of the project 2. Objectives & Deliverables 3. Timeline 4. Phase 1 5. Roadmap 6. Governance

3 HLG and CSPA CSPA project: sponsored by the High Level Group for Modernisation of Official Statistics (HLG-MOS) started in 2013 coordinated by UNECE objective is to create a Common Statistical Production Architecture

4 Current State in ESS Collect Process Analyse Dissemi nate NSI 2 Output country 2 NSI 1 Output country 1 Different tools and process for the same requirements. COSTLY

5 Target Architecture (inspired by CSPA) Collect Process Analyse Dissemi nate?? Sharing Services where economical Plug and Play architecture? SERV: Creating conditions for sharing services in ESS and integrate them to business processes.

6 Project Shared Services (SERV) Goal: to set up conditions for sharing statistical services building on UNECE's CSPA and participating in their selection, implementation and integration in statistical production processes at national, ESS and Commission level. Approved by ESSC in February 2015 Supporting the following key areas of VISION 2020: Key Area 1 "Identifying user needs and cooperation with stakeholders" Key Area 4 "Efficient and robust statistical process" Community-based approach for European collaboration Eurostat is a member of the CSPA Implementation Group SERV extends CSPA and supports its implementation in the ESS by applying the CSPA approach on ESS developments and delivering statistical services for the ESS.

7 Objectives Implement governance structure Standardise the description of business needs by building on CSPA and related standards Host and maintain a ESS and CSPA Service Catalogue at the Commission/Eurostat Enabling national and ESS projects to industrialise processes and integrate reusable components resulting in the rationalisation of information systems. Provide an ESS/Eurostat SOA environment for hosting. Provide Proof of Concepts statistical services (Phase 2) Provide selected reusable statistical services as software components mapping them to ESS Vision needs and to Level 1 GSBPM (Phase 3)

8 Project Governance Task Force 14 members (UNECE as observer) First meeting was conducted on 28th October 2015 in Luxembourg Next meeting planned for April 2016 Steering Group Countries: FI, DE, NL, NO, SI, SE First meeting was in December 2015 Network of countries Consists of 11 countries

9 Timeline Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3 Project life span Phases Decision points ESSC ESSC Task Force ESSnet /CoE

10 Phase 1 Deliverables ID Name Description Deployment SERV.D03 CSPA service catalogue (Version 1) SERV.D04 ESS SOA Infrastructure SERV.D06 Example Services The CSPA service catalogue is hosted and maintained by EUROSTAT. Middleware based on Oracle OSB was configured an available for use for hosting services. The first POC service, Structured Validation Service (STRUVAL) was developed. It is planned to be tested and applied in NAPS-S starting January CSPA Service Catalogue is in production and used by various statistical organizations. The ESS SOA Infrastructure was configured and the first statistical services were deployed on that Infrastructure by Eurostat. Further statistical services will be deployed on that infrastructure in year First deployment will come from the projects NAPS-S. Phase 1 deliverables were provided on time and on budget.

11 Roadmap for Phase 2

12 ID Phase 2 Main Deliverables Name 1 Governance, Service Guidelines and Templates Responsible for delivery ESSnet 2 Service Candidates ESSnet & Task Force Content Adapting CSPA guidelines to ESS needs. Build ESS governance. Identifying list of services for re-use where benefits are higher than the total costs 3 ESS Service Catalogue 4 ESS SOA Infrastructure Eurostat Eurostat Adaptation of CSPA Catalogue to ESS needs Configuring the ESS SOA Infrastructure which will be one alternative for service hosting. 5 Example Services Eurostat + ESSnet Implement and re-use real statistical services. 6 Open Source ESSnet Provide information and tools regarding the state-of-art of open source solutions, that are available or planned, that can be used to better help and foster statistical production. Explore open source collaborative platforms for the implementations.

13 Shared Services Governance Will define the selection criteria for services to implement in Phase 3 Will define eligibility (certification) criteria for a service to be added to the ESS Service catalogue Will provide recommendations on Service Level Agreements and Licensing (Open, Free, Commercial) Will provide recommendations for the sustainability of the "Shared Services" initiative

14 Proof of Concept Services ID Name Responsible for delivery 1 Structured Validation Service (STRUVAL) Eurostat Main Function Validating an SDMX data flow against a DSD. 2 Transformation Service Eurostat Converting data files between various formats. 3 Content Validation Eurostat Perform higher levels (level 1..5) of data validation. 4 Time Series (selected during kick-off) 5 Questionnaire Generation (selected during kick-off) ESSnet ESSnet Wrapping of some of JDemetra+ functions in a REST web service. Automated generation of questionnaires (web, PDF) from their DDI description. 6 Metadata Dissemination (selected during kick-off) ESSnet Access to different types of information about statistical concepts and classifications (list of items, correspondence tables, etc.) Tentative list will be reviewed in the Phase 2 of the project

15 Phase 2 ( ) Actors Cooperation between Eurostat and Member States Eurostat: Implementation of certain deliverables (ESS Service Catalogue, SOA Infrastructure, some services) ESSnet: Consortium: France (Coordinator), UK, Portugal, Lithuania, Slovenia, Germany Will also include communication with non-participating ESS members Started in January 2016

16 Thank you! INSEE (France) will now detail the ESSnet work programme
