Objectives
Starting point of the ETMS ≠ collection of new data
= but rather to :
1. Elaborate procedures for implementing a robust DB
2. Build on ESPON Database, ESPON datanavigator, GEOSPECS and other ESPON tools
3. Elaborate robust methodology for future data collection/update
FACULTY OF ECONOMICAND SOCIAL SCIENCESDepartment of geography and environment
Database structuring
FACULTY OF ECONOMICAND SOCIAL SCIENCESDepartment of geography and environment
Time related challenges for territorial monitoring
“Exploitability” of ETMS indicators
Issues related to updating indicators Coherence among EU27+4 countries
must be ensured Policy relevance is influenced by
moment’s fashion Comparability must be ensured overs
years
Issues leading to redefinition of territorial units Demographic evolution impacts
units based on it (cities, SPA) New typologies are implemented
Issues related to modifications in nomenclatures Boundaries of statistical
units change Territorial units are delineated
according to some nomenclatures only.
Issues related to historical datasets Definitions change Collection process changes Statistical method evolves Frequency of data update differs
from country to country
FACULTY OF ECONOMICAND SOCIAL SCIENCESDepartment of geography and environment
Updating datasets
1. Gathering the information needed to convert data between different territorial nomenclatures;
2. Compiling the most recent data, i.e. as soon as they are published by national statistical institutes and other primary data sources;
3. Gathering data at LAU2-level (check Eurostat micro-data access);
Identify the dataset to be collected Identify relevant scale(s)
Check if dataset is available in ESPON DB
Metadata meet ETMS standards
Identify alternative provider(s) Global, Eurostat, NSI, project LP
Get Metadata from provider
Data can be associated to an existing mapping file
Get mapping file from providers Or
Succeed associate data to existing mapping file
Dataset suitable for ETMS Gather all identified materials Set them into ETMS standard
Dataset not suitable for ETMS
Implementation/update of ETMS Dataset
Metadata Mapping file
Data allows building time series
FACULTY OF ECONOMICAND SOCIAL SCIENCESDepartment of geography and environment
Compiling and managing metadata on datasets
Special attention must be given to:
• Data updates
• Methodological coherence of time series
• Changes in the boundaries of statistical units
Building on the metadata infrastructure already established by the
• ESPON Metadata
• and Data Navigator projects
Developing further aspects of metadata when needed
FACULTY OF ECONOMICAND SOCIAL SCIENCESDepartment of geography and environment
The fundamental role of metadata
Metadata = centrepiece in the setup of the ETMS
• to construct coherent and comparable results
• over time
Starting point of the ETMS ≠ collection of new data
= but rather to :
1. Elaborate procedures for implementing a robust DB
2. Build on ESPON Database, ESPON datanavigator, GEOSPECS and other ESPON tools
3. Elaborate robust methodology for future data collection/update
