1 Introduction

The present document aims to deliver a Comma-Separated Values data exchange format for the sake of the GFCM Task 1: Operational Units data submission defined by the Recommendation GFCM/33/2009/3.

This format is intended to work as a supplementary medium in addition to the current XML Schema and the Task 1 Data Entry Application for those members having National Systems with inbuilt CSV data export capabilities which could therefore leverage on present data transmission architectures.

This version is in line with the current structure of the Task 1 data collection framework. It is subject to be modified in accordance with changes which may be introduced by the Scientific Advisory Committee and endorsed by the GFCM from time to time.

2 Conceptual data structure and relations

In order to keep data consistency as a key item in the submission process, it is fundamental to perceive the data hierarchy and keep it coherent. In this regard, please refer to the reported database diagram reported on the next page.

Further information on record fields and related data types are provided in Section 4.1

Version 2.1 3

Version 2.1 4

3 File structure and data serialization conventions

File naming

The file name should adhere to the following template: 3-Alpha ISO Country Code, reporting year and table name duly separated by a dash “-“ symbol, whilst the expected extension is .CSV (i.e. MLT-2010-Tsk1_Headers.CSV). Prior to submission, the whole set of files should be enclosed in standard ZIP archive which name should follow the template: 3-Alpha ISO Country Code, reporting year and the identifier “Task1” duly separated by a dash “-“ symbol, whilst the expected extension is .CSV (i.e. MLT-2010-Task1.ZIP).

File Format and structure

In this regard, the following criteria shall be taken into consideration:

• Data must be serialized in plain text, Unicode UTF-8 format. • The first row of each file should contain only the field names. • The accepted field separator is the semicolon “;”. • The records shall be separated by carriage return and line feed characters (respectively ASCII codes 13 and 10) • Missing data for nullable fields should be reported as a zero-length string, eventually enclosed by the semicolon

fields separator ";" • The dot "." shall be the only accepted decimal separator • String values do not need to be quoted • Unless specified in the reference tables, numeric codes should not include leading zeros.

4 Tables, Data Fields and Records structure

The following sections provide a detailed description of the fields belonging to each table composing the data submission. Exporting data in compliance with the specified parameters is crucial for the quality of the resulting submission:

• Order: the exact order in which the fields should be reported • PK: Indicates whether the field belongs to the compound primary key which uniquely identifies the concerned

datarow. Such information is a essential for IT experts to duly perceive the data normalisation. • Description: defines the information reported by the field • Data type: the base data type representing the information • Length: the maximum length allowed for the field. In the case of Decimal values, the number of decimal figures is

also reported after the comma. (i.e. the value 1000.123 complies to the data type Decimal 4.3) • Task 1 Branch: this comment expresses the conceptual location of this field in the Task 1 framework
