Il sistema informativo: strumento di conoscenza, di programmazione e monitoraggio delle politiche. Potenzialità, criticità e condizioni per il successo
Monitoring sustainable development strategies and integrated approach for policy making
It is widely acknowledged that the growing complexity of modern societies increasingly needs multidimensional information to support decision making of policy makers as well as of other social and political actors. In order to respond to a multidimensional demand, we need to strengthen at its best a multi-source production system. The changes needed are so deep that the label “data revolution” is often used to point at it.
In this context, the production of official figures from the integration among two or more different sources represents a substantial challenge for most NSIs not only in terms of fine tuning methodological tools. Indeed, it is equally important to carefully consider a bunch of other issues that ranges from the reengineering of statistical production processes to the designing of new IT and organisational set ups. In the background, the evolution of demand of statistics designs the paths to follow. In this paper I will present the experience that the Italian National Institute of Statistics (Istat) is carrying out in terms of building a statistical system able to face the challenges of measuring well-being and sustainable development and to support policy making. More specifically, I will focus on four different recent experiences that represent as many examples of integrated statistics and indicators responding to different user needs. At the same time, I will try to highlight some crucial aspects that should be dealt with such as the importance of cooperation with other social parties both at national and international level, the need for data integration from different sources, the necessity to reap the advantages of new technologies; the importance of legal settings. Main advantages and critical points will be briefly highlighted as well
L'impresa "sensibile", una strategia per la globalizzazione. Le implicazioni delle linee guida dell'Ocse.
Data integration and harmonization for measuring migration in Italy: new perspectives towards continuous Census
Trasformazioni sociali e nuovi consumi culturali in Italia
Oltre che monitorare puntualmente gli andamenti demografici, l’ISTAT osserva con regolarità, a partire dagli anni Novanta del Novecento, la partecipazione degli italiani ad attività culturali, anno dopo anno, attraverso l’indagine Aspetti della vita quotidiana
Adding Value to Statistics in the Data Revolution Age
As many statistical offices in accordance with the European Statistical System commitment to Vision 2020, since the second half of 2014 Istat has implemented its internal standardisation and industrialisation process within the framework of a common Business Architecture. Istat modernisation programme aims at building services and infrastructures within a plug-and-play framework to foster innovation, promote reuse and move towards full integration and interoperability of statistical process, consistent with a service-oriented architecture. This is expected to lead to higher effectiveness and productivity by improving the quality of statistical information and reducing the response burden. This paper addresses the strategy adopted by Istat which is focused on exploiting administrative data and new data sources in order to achieve its key goals enhancing value to users. The strategy is based on some priorities that consider services centred on users and stakeholders as well as Linked Open Data, to allow Machine-to-Machine data and metadata integration through definition of common statistical ontologies and semantics
