The Steering Group consists of one National Accounts representative and one SDMX representative from each of the mandated organisations (ECB, Eurostat, OECD). A Technical Group was mandated consisting of National Accounts and SDMX experts.
To meet the go-live deadline in September 2014, the technical group was charged to develop a content-oriented package for a pilot implementation with data providers. It was decided to conduct the pilot in two phases. The first phase will start in December 2012 and consists of a content review by National Accounts experts. After one feedback loop of the content review, a technical review phase will be organised in 2013 with National Accounts and SDMX / IT experts. This gives data providers and international organisations around one year for testing and finetuning of the process and implementation.
Participants of various working groups involved in national accounts and/or of various working groups involved in data exchange and SDMX implementation will be invited by the Steering Group to be involved in the pilot phases.
