Reference metadata

Metadata describing the contents and the quality of the statistical data.

Preferably, reference metadata should include all of the following:

  1. "conceptual" metadata, describing the concepts used and their practical implementation, allowing users to understand what the statistics are measuring and, thus, their fitness for use;
  2. "methodological" metadata, describing methods used for the generation of the data (e.g. sampling, collection methods, editing processes);
  3. "quality" metadata, describing the different quality dimensions of the resulting statistics (e.g. timeliness, accuracy).

Note that (a) does not define the actual structure of a data set in terms of concepts used, their representation, and role (dimensions, attributes, measures) in a data structure. These metadata are referred to as Structural Metadata.
