Statistical subject-matter domain

Statistical activity that has common characteristics with respect to concepts and methodologies for data collection, manipulation and transformation.

Within SDMX, the list of statistical subject-matter domains (aligned to the Classification of International Statistical Activities maintained by the Conference of European Statisticians of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, UNECE) is a standard reference list against which the categorisation schemes of various participants in exchange arrangements can be mapped to facilitate data and metadata exchange. This allows the identification of subject-matter domain groups involved in the development of guidelines and recommendations relevant to one or more statistical domains. Each of these groups could define domain-specific Data Structure Definitions, Concepts, etc.
