The SDMx Matrix Generator is used to visually model and design SDMx data artefacts, and generate the SDMx-ML markup for implementation. It is an enhancement of the Generic SDMx Design Matrix which has proven to be successful as a collaborative design tool for non-SDMx experts.

The primary goal of the tool is to be able to create the artefacts (such as Concept Schemes, Data Structure Definitions (DSDs), Dataflows, Codelists) without a lot of SDMx technical knowledge, and to put the focus on the statistical aspects of the data model.
