Overview
SDMX structural metadata (structures for short) describe the data and need to be created before you can start working with the data itself. Structures in SDMX are equivalent to the empty tables and relationships in a SQL database before any data is inserted.
If you have access to structures in a suitable SDMX format like SDMX-ML (XML) or SDMX-JSON, you can start working immediately with those. Login using the admin account created at install and click the button to load from file.
The rest of this guide explains how to download some example structures from Fusion Metadata Registry (FMR) Demo site https://demo.metadatatechnology.com/FusionRegistry
using the Environment Sync function.
Note Please refer to this article which explains how Environment Sync works across different vesions of FMR.
Adding a Sync Environment
A Sync Environment is a remote Fusion Registry with which structures can be exchanged. In this case we're going to retrieve from structures from it.
- Login using the admin account
- From the left-hand menu choose >
Environments
- Choose the
Add Environments
button and enter:- ID: SDMX Global Registry
- URL: https://registry.sdmx.org/
- Select the newly created 'Demo' environment in the list and choose the
Sync Environment
button - When prompted for a username and password, click
Sync Anonymously
Your Fusion Registry should connect to the demonstration service and retrieve a list of all available structures.
Download all structures for the ESTAT BPM6_BOP_M dataflow (BPM6_BOP_M)
For demonstration purposes we are going to download all of the structures needed for the ESTAT's BPM6_BOP_M dataflow, including Codelists, Concepts and the Data Structure Definition.
- Click on Dataflows and check
ESTAT:BPM6 BOP M (2.2) - BPM6_BOP_M dataflow
- Choose the
Pull Structure
button - When prompted for Sync Options, choose
Selected structures and descendents
, and thePull
button - The report should tell us that a number of changes have been made to the Registry including 11 Codelists, plus a Concept Scheme, Data Structure Definition and a Dataflow
Check
To see what has been loaded, you can navigate back to the Main menu
and select Bulk Actions
.
The left-hand panel will show the number of structures that have been created for each type, the right hand panel will show the details for a selected structure type.
