1 Information Infrastructure: Foundations for ABS Transformation Stuart Girvan, Australian Bureau of Statistics MSIS Paris, April 2013 Outline ABS 2017 Transformation Vision and Information Infrastructure Registry and Repository (MRR) & Statistical Workflow Management system (SWM) Achievements so far What s next? The journey 1

2 VISION FOR ABS 2017 TRANSFORMATION & THE ROLE OF INFORMATION INFRASTRUCTURE Enablers Business Change Benefits Strategic Goals Enterprise Architecture Re engineered, Improved Business Processes Processes captured as Services, Workflow SOA Statistical Workflow Management System (SWM) Existing/new applications integrate with SWM/SOA (Better) Tools and applications integrated with MRR Existing/new applications integrate with MRR/EDW Registry and Repository (MRR) EDW Managed, consolidated & consistent business processes Managed, consolidated & consistent applications & components Managed, consolidated & consistent metadata Re use processes driven processes Re use metadata Process Assembly and Automation Grow business via new statistical products/ services Reduce time and cost of business operations Survive and Thrive Information Governance, Architecture & Management Migrate corporate/foundation metadata to MRR 2

3 Business Re use of common business processes Process assembly, configuration and automation E n t e r p r i s e Information Application Re use metadata Re use application components Component/service assembly Business Transformation The role of MRR and SWM MRR and SWM provide foundations for processes and metadata to be: Managed Consistent Discoverable Governed Executable Ultimately, re usable, easily assembled, and in the case of processes, automatable 3

4 MRR AND SWM What is MRR? The Registry and Repository consists of two parts: Repository the centralised store for standards based metadata Registry the catalogue that tells you what s in the repository 4

5 MRR Registering & Retrieving E.g. Register metadata Repository Registry Complete metadata tdt package resides in Repository Register key elements of metadata package E.g. search MRR Registering & Retrieving Repository Search for metadata here? Registry Pointer to in Repository Returns list of relevant metadata held in the repository 5

6 MRR Registering & Retrieving E.g. Retrieve metadata from here based on search results Repository Registry MRR & standards Repository Registry Mapping between the registration and the standard Model of what we keep in a registration (ATMM GSIM) E.g. DDI, SDMX, And? This will be the metadata content in the most appropriate standard (DDI, SDMX, etc) 6

7 What is SWM? Statistical Workflow Management System ActiveVos (BPMS) + governance (e.g. Alignment of new processes to business architecture, Duplication of existing processes?) + processes for building workflow and orchestration + role and responsibilities 7

8 WHAT WE HAVE DONE SO FAR AND WHAT S NEXT 8

9 MRR works What have we learnt? DDI/SDMX successfully used E forms generation Table production for analysis Mtdt queries for end user dt data sets SWM good for What have we learnt? doing things quickly joining things up coordinating and re using processes handling long, asynchronous events Exposes and documents business process 9

10 What s next? Collection /Data Definition Tools Instrument Definition Tools Instrument Generation Tools Run Survey/ Data Collection Tools Input Data Warehouse and Tools Processing, Editing, Analysis Data Warehouse and Tools Output Data Warehouse and Tools Disseminate Tools Corporate Classification Standard Question, Data Glossary Tools Management Element (variable) Definition Management Topics Management Corporate Registry and Repository MRR Corporate Business Process Tool and Repository SWM 10

11 REACHING THE VISION Vision for Re use: Existing Applications/Tools decomposed into re usable bits Any given application consists of Common, stable, reusable, modular services Services Code that takes metadata and data, and does something with it (e.g. imputation) Business Rules and Processes Common (largely), stable, reusable, automatable workflow SWM Workflow & process orchestration Common Statistical MRR Information about Statistical Data Data and Common Statistical Data EDW Statistical Data 11

12 Vision for Re use for New Applications/Tools New Application Services Common, stable, reusable, modular services Business Rules and Processes SWM Common (largely), stable, reusable, automatable workflow Application Specific Code MRR Common Statistical Data and EDW Common Statistical Data Vision for re use and automation (& assembly) SWM Information Infrastructure Backbone Services SWM MRR EDW 12

13 The journey, and wins on the way Information Infrastructure Backbone Configure and assemble processes from components Business process greatly automated Business Rules and Processes Data and Services SWM MRR EDW Codesmallnumber of things, reusing a lot others Some re use of metadata and process via integrated tools Some coding, some re use of code Tools begin to integrate Code most new applications Different tools don t play well together Business Rules and Processes Data and Business Rules and Processes Data and Enablers Business Change Benefits Strategic Goals Enterprise Architecture Re engineered, Improved Business Processes Processes captured as Services, Workflow SOA Statistical Workflow Management System (SWM) Existing/new applications integrate with SWM/SOA Registry and Repository (MRR) Existing/new applications integrate with MRR/EDW (Better) Tools and applications integrated with MRR EDW Managed, consolidated & consistent business processes Managed, consolidated & consistent applications & components Managed, consolidated & consistent metadata Re use processes driven processes Re use metadata Process Assembly and Automation Grow business via new statistical products/ services Reduce time and cost of business operations Survive and Thrive Information Governance, Architecture & Management Migrate corporate/foundation metadata to MRR 13
