SDMX-EDI

UN/EDIFACT format for exchange of SDMX-structured data and metadata for time series.

SDMX-EDI is a message designed for the exchange of statistical information between organisations in a platform independent manner. The SDMX-EDI format is drawn from the GESMES/TS version 3.0 implementation guide, published as a standard of the SDMX initiative.

GESMES (Generic Statistical Message) is a United Nations standard (EDIFACT message) allowing partner institutions to exchange statistical multi-dimensional arrays in a generic but standardised way. GESMES/TS (TS stands for "time series" and the specification is limited to supporting time series data) is an Implementation Guide specifying the use of GESMES for time series data and related metadata, and structural metadata; it can be regarded as a profile of GESMES.

In the SDMX standard the GESMES/TS profile is known as SDMX-EDI. It defines the structures of GESMES that are available for use in SDMX-EDI thus allowing partner institutions to design and to build the applications needed to "read" and "write" SDMX-EDI messages.
