Terminology on Statistical Metadata
Description:... This publication was prepared at the request of countries participating in the activities on statistical metadata organised by the United Nations/ Economic Commission for Europe Statistical Division. The aim of the publication is to assist national and international statistical offices on problems dealing with the development and implementation of statistical metainformation systems. The development of standard terminology will also help to facilitate access, sharing, comparing and understanding of statistics across national boundaries. Over 230 terms are defined relating to: metadata collection; storing, organising and searching metadata; metadata and metainformation system's functions (identification, location, retrieval, processing, analysis and interpretation); metadata models and holdings; metadata administration and dissemination. Concepts are defined in natural language and are organised in the thesaurus structure.
