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

Re ‐ use of common business processes Business Process assembly, configuration and automation Re ‐ use metadata E Information n t e r p r Re ‐ use application components i s Application e Component/service assembly C t/ i bl Business Transformation The role of MRR and SWM • MRR and SWM provide foundations for processes and metadata to be: and metadata to be: – Managed – Consistent – Discoverable – Governed – Executable – Ultimately, re ‐ usable, easily assembled, and in the case of processes, automatable 3
MRR AND SWM What is MRR? • The Metadata Registry and Repository consists of two parts: f t t – Repository – the centralised store for standards based metadata – Registry – the catalogue that tells you what’s in the repository 4
MRR – Registering & Retrieving Metadata E.g. Register metadata Repository Complete metadata C l t t d t package resides in Repository Registry Register key elements of metadata package MRR – Registering & Retrieving Metadata E.g. Metadata search Repository Search for metadata here Registry ? Pointer to Metadata in Repository Returns list of relevant metadata held in the repository 5
MRR – Registering & Retrieving Metadata E.g. Retrieve metadata from here Repository based on search results 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
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
WHAT WE HAVE DONE SO FAR AND WHAT’S NEXT 8
What have we learnt? • MRR works • DDI/SDMX successfully used – E ‐ forms generation – Table production for analysis – Metadata queries for end user data sets M t d t i f d d t t What have we learnt? • SWM good for – doing things quickly – joining things up – coordinating and re ‐ using processes – handling long, asynchronous events • Exposes and documents business process 9

REACHING THE VISION Vision for Re ‐ use: Existing Applications/Tools decomposed into re ‐ usable bits Any given application consists of User Interface Services Code that takes Common, stable, reusable, metadata and data, and does something with it modular services (e.g. imputation) Business Rules and Processes Workflow & process Common (largely), stable, reusable, SWM orchestration automatable workflow Information about MRR Common Statistical Metadata Statistical Data Data and Metadata EDW Statistical Data Common Statistical Data 11
Vision for Re ‐ use for New Applications/Tools New Application User Interface Common, stable, reusable, Services Business modular services Rules and Processes Common (largely), stable, reusable, Application SWM automatable workflow Specific Code MRR Common Statistical Metadata Data and Metadata EDW Common Statistical Data Vision for re ‐ use and automation (& assembly) SWM SWM User Interface User Interface User Interface User Interface User Interface User Interface Information Infrastructure Backbone MRR EDW SWM Services 12
