Statistical Data and Metadata Exchange (SDMX) is an internationally recognized standard for the exchange and management of statistical data.
Implementing SDMX enables a structured, interoperable, and transparent flow of data between organizations.
We support the integration of SDMX into existing IT and data infrastructures.
Why SDMX?
Efficient data exchange and interoperability are crucial for organizations that manage large volumes of statistical data.
SDMX provides a structured framework that standardizes data exchange, improves data quality, and ensures compliance with international standards. Standardized structures and machine-readable interfaces can reduce manual processing and support automated data exchange, validation, and dissemination.
Our Approach
The SDMX Data Lifecycle
An effective SDMX data lifecycle depends on two key elements working together:
A consistent SDMX data model creates a uniform structure across all process steps—from modeling and production to dissemination and reporting. At the same time, a a reliable, scalable, and automated IT infrastructure supports secure and maintainable operations.
Together, these elements provide a consistent foundation for data quality, automation, and interoperability.
SDMX helps organizations improve data quality, dissemination, and interoperability, but implementing it enterprise-wide presents challenges. This presentation introduces a holistic approach to integrating SDMX tools into IT landscapes that is also aligned with business requirements.
We highlight the importance of a centralized structural metadata registry and a data platform that together support the entire SDMX data lifecycle. Using a case study featuring FMR (Fusion Metadata Registry) as the structural metadata registry and the .Stat Suite as the data platform, we highlight key aspects of metadata governance, IT security, and cloud-based integration.

Practical expertise in customizing and extending SDMX frameworks
Implementing SDMX in data modeling and IT infrastructure is a complex project, as it affects core data production processes.
However, thanks to HMS’s experience in IT integration and SDMX, we break the project down into manageable steps and seamlessly integrate SDMX tools into your existing workflows.
The Fusion Metadata Registry (FMR) is the leading tool for managing SDMX structural metadata, data validation, and data processing.
It is therefore a central tool for data modeling in SDMX and offers functions covering the entire data lifecycle—from form creation and data collection, through data transformation during data production, to the publication of data via the API.
FMR has a broad user base within the community, and its functionalities are continuously being developed.
Yes. Drawing on HMS Analytical Software’s extensive experience in IT integration and automation using various technologies, HMS helps you analyze your existing IT infrastructure, identifies opportunities, and develops customized integration plans for SDMX tools.
We’ll guide you through every phase—from project planning and business analysis through tool development to implementation.
Through our active involvement in the SDMX community, including the SDMX Technical Working Group and the FMR Prioritization Group, we can recommend suitable tools for the specific use case. If necessary, we also initiate the development of new features in existing open-source tools.
