The SDMX User Guide aims to provide practical explanations and guidance to users and potential users of SDMX.

It is based on explanatory documents and tutorials from the SDMX sponsoring organisations, which have been edited with the intention of making the information understandable for people with no prior knowledge of SDMX. The emphasis throughout is on practical use of SDMX, supported by examples.

Release 2007.1 is the first release of the User Guide as a complete document. It is expected that further revised releases will follow, taking advantage of new material drawn from real-world usage of SDMX standards and guidelines, and responding to needs expressed by readers.

Comments on the User Guide are welcomed and can be sent to the SDMX Secretariat – User Guide Contact Point (john.allen[at]ec.europa.eu), indicating the version of the User Guide to which your comments refer.
