The Fusion Registry Knowledge Base
Statistical data management software for official statistics using SDMX
Fusion Registry 10
Fusion Registry 10 is for central banks, international organisations, national statistics offices, development banks and regional statistics authorities who need to collect, integrate, store, process and publish aggregated official statistics.
It implements the SDMX international standard for official statistics making it robust, non-proprietary and easy to exchange both data and metadata.
Version 10.0 was released in January 2020 and replaces Fusion Registry 9.

Fusion Data Mapper
Fusion Data Mapper provides a web user Interface to administer Structure Maps in the Fusion Registry, where the maps support a specific use case – mapping from Single Dimension Data Structures to multidimensional Data Structures. This use case is borne out of statistical applications which model time series datasets as a single unique identifier for the Series alongside a Time Dimension. By modelling these dataset as a DSD with one Dimension (and a Time Dimension), it is very easy to overlay SDMX metadata to describe the Time Series as a multidimensional Cube with additional series Attributes to carry richer metadata.

Fusion ETL Server
Fusion ETL is a web application which connects to one or more local databases in order to extract data for publication to a remote Fusion Registry instance via the standard Fusion Registry web services.
Fusion ETL provides the ability to map Dataflows to Database tables and Dimensions to specific database columns. Schedules can be configured for automated extraction, views can be defined allowing for extraction of full updates, sub-cubes and deltas.
Fusion ETL provides a sophisticated auditing, logging and error notification framework to ensure full visibility of data publication history.

Fusion Edge Server
Fusion Edge Server is a solution for supporting high performance data and metadata dissemination, with high throughput. The Fusion Edge Server serves all data, related metadata, including reference metadata, from its highly optimised in memory store and as such has no reliance on a database. The Fusion Edge Server has been designed to support the use case of high availability of data through load balancing. Fusion Edge Server provides access to its stored data and metadata through SDMX compliant web services, and includes support for non-SDMX data formats such as CSV and Excel. The Fusion Edge Server extends the SDMX web services by providing additional information such as data metrics, and data search.
Fusion Edge Server is compatible with Fusion Data Browser and Fusion XL, providing an off-the-shelf solution for both web based data exploration, and from within Microsoft Excel. Connectivity to statistical software such as R and Matlab can be achieved using third party SDMX Connector libraries such as the SDMX Connectors project.

Fusion Data Essentials Topics
Data Essentials is free for qualifying organisations and, as well as an SDMX metadata registry, it has all the essential Functions needed to load, store, process and publish aggregated statistical data using the SDMX standard. It contains a subset of the functionality of Fusion Registry and many of the articles you will find on this wiki will apply to Data Essentials as well as Fusion Registry.
Version 10.4.4 is available on request NOW! To learn more and request a copy, please go to our Website
