MDG Indicators Committee A Specialized Technical Committee was set up in February 2010 to coordinate the integration of the Millennium Development Goals Indicators.

Process for updating the MDG system oceso de actualización Sistema ODM

Activities 1.Prepare manuals of procedure and rules. 2.Create an FTP site for data exchange. 3.Backing up time series and metadata from the FTP site. 4.Classify, analyze and assess the data and metadata to identify possible inconsistencies. 5.Ask for clarifications from each responsible agency when problems are found in the data. 6.Update the MDG system. Activities for the operation of the project by INEGI

Form to incorporate data and indicators in the MDG system

Metadata form Concept Name of the indicator Definition Algorithm Meaning of acronyms Source of primary data Geographic coverage Frequency Updating date Name of agency responsible for the indicator Importance and usefulness of the indicator International reference Remarks

Procedure to compile and disseminate the information 1.The ftp:// / site contains the following information:ftp:// / Formal the creation of the MDG Technical Committee. MDG 2006 Manual; draft of the 2009 manual; Report from de Secretary General. Mexicos reports from 2005, Relationship of responsible agencies, indicators and data sources. Terms of reference of the MDG Technical Committee. Dossiers for each one of the working groups. Each dossier contains: Indicators metadata and the rules for updating it on line. Raw statistics produced or integrated by INEGI for updating the indicators. A document with the method of calculation for each indicator

Procedure to compile and disseminate the information 2.Within each working group a person is designated to calculate the indicator. 3.INEGI provides access to FTP:// , with different rights.

Procedure to compile and disseminate the information 4.Once the work has been finished and authorized, the designated person will up load on the FTP site all the statistical series of raw data to calculate the indicator, as well as the series of the indicator itself, with the corresponding metadata. 5.INEGI reviews and assesses the data and the indicators, and asks for clarifications. 6.Once the data are cleared they are put on an internal server for final review by the Technical Committee. 7.Data are published on the website.

Weekly report

Observations 1.Differences in name of indicators: system vs. working groups. 2.Differences or missing metadata. 3.Lack of URL links in the metadata. 4.Acronyms not explained. 5.Inconsistencies in the raw data 6.Differences between the data produced by INEGI and the data published by the government agencies. 7.Unexplained breaks in time series of indicators or the raw data. Typology of comments made by INEGI on the data produced bay other agencies

Moving MDG to SDMX We used a preliminary version of the DSD for MDG and we made the following changes and we finally have a NEW DSD for MDGDSD for MDG NEW DSD for MDG It was very useful, but we had to make the following changes in order to adapt it to our information and tools. So we have a NEW DSD for MDG: – We changed the encoding XML ISO per utf-8 because our tools use encoding = "utf-8 – The XML namespaces are generated directly from our Web Service for each type of message. So it can be seen that some namespaces (i.e. the required for data messages as "compact", "generic", etc.) do not appear in the DSD proposed by INEGI, but on the other side, it is a new one that is the xmlns: registry that is required in a DSD.

34 MDG indicators. We have adjusted some code lists: 9 were used, of which 6 are consistent with the UNSD and 3 were included by the INEGI. The codes are alphabetically sorted in Spanish. – Two age groups were added because of the particularities of the indicators presented by Mexico. – One class added: ND Not determined Moving MDG to SDMX

Progress in the conversion of MDGs to SDMX The names of the catalogs were changed, removing _SDMX or _ODM, because by recommendation the identification should be as generic as possible so they can be used by other flows.

Progress in the conversion of MDG to SDMX Added ConceptScheme CS_MDG – This component (is required for SDMX 2.0), it contains a list of concepts applicable to the DSD Key Family MDG was changed to DSD_MDG because it is recommended that the nomenclature of the id is based on the first initials of the type of device (DSD DataStructure, Codelist CL, Scheme Concept CS, etc) followed by the identifier. The following 3 attributes changed from observation to sets level, because for Mexico, in the retrieval systems and original databases, these features are specified for each series. This change produces smaller SDMX files. – UNIT_MULT – TIME_DETAIL – FOOTNOTES The next three code lists were updated because the INEGI information could not be classified with the original code lists: – CL_FREQUENCY, – CL_AGE_GROUP – CL_UNIT_MEASURE

SDMX – MDG Consulta del DSD desde el Web Service de INEGI DataFlows de INEGI (Para saber qué flujos disponibles hay y sus correspondientes DSD se hace primero una consulta dinámica de todos los DataFlows publicados por INEGI) (o si ya se sabe el nombre del DataFlow se puede acotar por ejemplo a DF_MDG) El nombre del DSD de MDG se puede ver en el resultado de la consulta anterior. Por ejemplo, para el caso de los MDG el nombre es DSD_MDG. Para consultarlo se construye la URL como sigue: DataStructure DataStructure con artefactos de referencias (codelist, consept scheme) s=shallow CODELISTS (Ejemplo para consultar dinámicamente el código CL_FREQ, los nombres de los códigos los sabemos en el DSD de la consulta anterior)
