A Business Architecture framework for industrialisation and standardisation in a modern National Statistical Institute
No full textIn recent years, many European and international statistical organisations have initiated developments to restructure their statistical production process, with the aim of improving its efficiency and the ability to produce outputs that better satisfy user needs. In this framework, the main topic of this study is to describe the path towards the design of a Business Architecture (BA) suitable to meet the specific requisites of the Italian National Institute of Statistics (Istat). Like other National Statistical Institutes, for several years Istat has been engaged in a series of complex challenges, dictated on the one hand by the requirement to increase the production of statistical information and its quality, on the other hand by the need to reduce both the total cost for its production and the respondent burden, so as to work in a more efficient and optimised way. In order to find proper solutions and increase the overall efficiency, since 2010 Istat has launched a Programme called Stat2015, that is focused on the modernisation of the whole statistical production procedure
Business Architecture model within an official statistical context
No full textSeveral Official Statistical Institutions/Organisations are currently facing commitments towards modernisation and standardisation of their work processes, both from an organisational and a production-related point of view. In this context, this paper aims at illustrating a reference Business Architecture (BA) model that can be used to enhance this relevant evolution phase and represents a first step towards the development of a sharable common framework, so as to work in a more efficient and optimised way
Business Architecture Principles to Foster Industrialisation and Standardisation at the Italian National Institute of Statistics
No full textThe Italian National Institute of Statistics has recently adopted the common vision proposed for the European Statistic al System, envisaging a different production process of the statistical information, based on its standardisation and industrialisation, thus achieving higher efficiency and quality levels together with lower respondent burden. In order to ensure a proper governance of the transition process, a rigorous definition of the “to be” model is needed: for this purpose, Istat has defined a Business Architecture model, clearly stating the characteristics of the statistical value chain, the way the activities in the different domains interact, the general principles informing the whole process, and the infrastructures required so as to ensure its optimality
First proposal of a Business Architecture to refine the model elaborated by the Sponsorship on Standardisation
No full textThis deliverable aims at illustrating a proposal of a Business Architecture (BA) model that can be considered as a starting point to refine the approach produced by the Sponsorship on Standardisation. This renewed model should be shared between the ESSnet on standardisation project members and can represent a first step towards the development of a BA characterised by common frameworks and principles within each Institute/Organisation, so as to work in a more efficient and optimised way

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
A Business Architecture Model to foster standardisation in official statistics
No full textBusiness Architecture (BA) is called to play a central role in a programme as complex as that of modernisation and standardisation of the official statistical information production. This study aims at illustrating a BA model for achieving a unity of views, so as to ensure the strategic alignment in each part of an Organisation and to carry out an innovation consistent with the standardisation objective that should be reached. This BAmodel individuates four different business lines (Strategy; Corporate support; Production; Capability) and is led by common infrastructures and principles that become instruments and guidelines for the implementation of each business line group of actions. Both principles and infrastructures facilitate and enhance the standardisation process
