Standardizing Metadata
It is a set of clear guidelines on how to carry out the documentation process that describes the conceptualization, quality, generation, calculation and characteristics of statistical data. The objective is to strengthen the process of generating, documenting and exchanging statistical information that would permit national and international comparability. To develop and manage metadata, the NSS uses the Accelerated Data Program (ADP). Standardizing metadata according to the international statistical standard allows to update the metadata-based system with the documentation on statistical operations related to censuses, surveys and use of administrative records of both DANE and other major production entities of the National Statistical System (NSS).
