GESMES Time Series data exchange message. It is a message (a GESMES profile) allowing the exchange of statistical time series, related attributes and structural definitions using a standardised format.
|
| Context: |
The message has been renamed from GESMES/CB to GESMES/TS in 2003, reflecting also the adoption of the message by a large statistical community, including the BIS, the ECB, Eurostat, the IMF and OECD.
This data-exchange message implements a time-series data exchange model (GESMES/TS data model), which allows users to exchange and identify time series through a multidimensional key and various associated metadata. It uses a generic GESMES profile and, for the version described in the GESMES TS user guide published by the European Central Bank, the EDIFACT syntax.
Whereas the full GESMES message is a generic statistical data model— with flexible syntax to describe virtually any statistical data model— GESMES/TS has a fixed syntax. This allows users and their partner institutions to design and build applications users need to "read" and "write" GESMES/TS messages, while avoiding intermediate files and special translators.
