=Fusion Registry 10=
+
Fusion Metadata Registry is a free to use structural metadata registry for SDMX supporting EDI, SDMX 1.0, 2.0, 2.1 and 3.0.
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 using the SDMX Standard.
 
  
Fusion Registry is a metadata-driven system providing closely governed, reliable and automated management of the statistical data supply chain, production process and dissemination service.

SDMX statistical data engine and structural metadata registry.<br>
+
SDMX statistical data engine and structural metadata registry. The main statistical engine for data collection, integration, processing, storage, query execution and time-series calculations. It provides an SDMX-compliant data and metadata REST API. The integrated SDMX structural metadata registry acts as the central repository, authoring and maintenance tool for all of the structures including Codelists, Concepts and Data Structure Definitions.

[[Fusion Registry Core|More]]
 
  
====Fusion Edge Server====
 
High-performance data dissemination server.<br>
 
A light-weight SDMX data and metadata REST API server designed to be deployed in clusters in the DMZ or at the network edge for scalable, fault-tolerant public data dissemination use cases.
 
 
====Fusion Data Browser====
 
Web tool for data search, visualisation and analysis.<br>
 
Fusion Data Browser is a web application suitable for both internal and external users to search and explore the catalogue of datasets, select series and cubes of interest, build visualisations using tables and charts, and retrieve selected data in a variety of formats including SDMX, Excel and CSV.<br>
 
It can connect to either a Fusion Registry Core engine, or a Fusion Edge Server cluster.
 
 
====Fusion Data Mapper====
 
Web tool for creating and maintaining Fusion Registry FAME to SDMX series mappings.<br>
 
Web tool for Fusion Registry Core for mapping series with a single dimension to richer multi-dimensional structures using SDMX structure mapping rules.<br>
 
The main use case is mapping FAME series which typically have a single 'series code' dimension to SDMX multi-dimensional structures including dimensions and attributes like: FREQ, INDICATOR, REF_AREA and UNIT_MULT. However, it will work with source data with a single dimension like 'Indicator'.
 
 
====Fusion ETL Server====
 
Module for Extracting, Transforming and Loading data into Fusion Registry.<br>
 
Fusion ETL extracts observation data from one or more local SQL databases and loads them into a Fusion Registry Core data engine, transforming the data into the structure specified for the target SDMX Dataflows.
 
Any number of jobs can be created that can be executed interactively through the web user interface, executed automatically on a defined schedule, or triggered programmatically using the Fusion ETL REST API.
 
 
====Fusion Registry Command Line====
 
Windows and Linux command line interface.<br>
 
A command line interface to Fusion Registry's REST API providing utility scripts for loading structures, data and metadata, validating data, exporting content and deleting content.

= 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 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 [https://github.com/amattioc/SDMX SDMX Connectors project].
