[DDI-ADG] Aggregate Data Materials

[Sandra.A.Cannon at frb.gov]

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,
