Yes there are some guideline in its personal website,But those are not enough to start ride on sdmx. So its my personal request to all u my friends if you have any experience please share.

Any help will appreciated

Answer 1

I found the SDMX Guidelines for the use of webservices helpful to get started. The Annex (chapter 6) lists some examples.

Another source of information is on the Eurostat website where you can find a documentation of their SDMX webservices.

They also have a portal site that provides tutorials on SDMX.

Hope that gets you started.

Here are few links about the topic:

• https://sdmx.org/ (Official page)
• https://sdmx.org/?page_id=2555 (Learning)
• https://sdmx.org/?page_id=4500 (Tools)
• http://www.metadatatechnology.com/sdmx.php#data-format (Tutorial)
• https://www.oecd.org/statistics/data-collection/How%20to%20report%20FDI%20data%20to%20the%20OECD%20using%20SDMX.pdf
• https://sdmx.org/wp-content/uploads/sdmx-json-data-message.pdf
• https://github.com/sdmx-twg/sdmx-json
• https://github.com/sdmx-twg/sdmx-json/wiki

Quick json format overview (xml is similar):

{   
         "header": { ... },
         Header is for technical information: prepared, sender, ...

         "errors": { ... },
         Errors is for error messages.

         "structure": { ... },
         Structure contains metadata: dimensions and attributes.

         "dataSets": [ ... ]
         DataSets contains the actual data.
 }

NOTE: In an effort to document it I also created the sdmx stackoverflow tag.
