Istat is proud to participate in the INTERSTAT project in the framework of the European “Connecting Europe Facility” Telecom instrument.
The overall objective of the project is to develop a framework that will allow the interoperability, by using technical assets and common ontologies, between national statistical portals and the European Data portal and the deployment of cross-border services that reuse European statistical open datasets from those portals.
The Action objectives for the three years of the project:
- Enable interoperability among different national statistical portals and the European Data Portal through the adoption of standards and tools to automate metadata harmonisation and data publication
- Provide standards, methodologies and tools to achieve data harmonisation in the field of (linked) open data statistics among different national statistical institutions
- Provide uniform technical interfaces for a standard and simple re-use of statistical information through the adoption of CEF Context Broker Building Block
- Provide tools to simplify statistical data visualisation and analysis for non-technical users
- Validate the technical solutions, provided in the Action, through the deployment of services in the domain of Population and Households Census, reusing harmonised statistical data in combination with open dataset from European Data Portal and other national open data portals.
