This registry is designed to facilitate the dissemination and use of SDMX standards for statistical data and metadata exchange which, in turn, facilitate the orderly flow of data from data producers to national, regional and international data users.

The SDMX data sharing model reduces the reporting burden of organizations by allowing them to publish data once, and let their counterparties “pull” data and related metadata as required.

SDMX is an initiative sponsored by BIS, ECB, EUROSTAT, IMF, OECD, UN and the World Bank. For more information on SDMX, see www.sdmx.org

DevInfo database technology is SDMX-compliant and is endorsed by UNDG for disseminating data on human development and, in particular, the Millennium Development Goal indicators. For more information on DevInfo, see www.devinfo.org
