[DDI-ADG] Aggregate Data Materials

[J Gager]

All-

San is absolutely right.  Another good place to start is the Key Family
Tutorial - it can be found in Section VII - Appendix II of the
Information Model document (DOC02 in the zip file).  I am also attaching
an SDMXBasics document that Arofan has been working on. I am not sure if
it is final yet, but it could be useful.

J,
If I can make a suggestion... having waded through all the SDMX stuff, I
have found that the most useful starting point is the Implementor's
Guide (I think it's labeled Doc05 in that Zip file).  If you aren't
familiar with key families and the like, this is a good overview of the
things to worry about without getting bogged down with the details on
the different types of schema formats.

Maybe all these concepts are familiar to everyone else but they were new
to me.

Just my 2 cents (or pence or florins or whatever other coins are
left...)

All -

As I promised in Edinburgh, I am sending out some materials on cubed
data to help those unfamiliar with it.  It may be a few weeks before we
get to reviewing the cubed data section, so for now, you can probably
review these at your leisure.

DDI:
Wendy Thomas wrote a straight forward document describing some use cases
of marking up nCubes in DDI 2.0 (How to markup aggregate data.doc). It
may also be helpful to look at an excerpt form the tag library about
nCube and LocationMaps (locMap-nCube-taglib.zip).

These should provide a good starting point for understanding where the
model currently stands.  If you want more in depth information, I will
try to provide it.

SDMX:
Since we are talking about aligning with SDMX, it will be useful to
review the 1.0 model. You can download the entire distribution at:
http://www.sdmx.org/news/document.aspx?id=125&nid=49.  There are varying
level of details here, including specifcation documents and samples.
Which you will find more useful is really up to you.

Happy Reading,
