2.1 Statistical survey life cycle
Our statistical life cycle model is based on the work done by Statistics New Zealand, by Statistics Sweden and by METIS. We have also attended one Statistical Open Source workshop hosted by Statistics Netherlands in 2007 on this topic.
The phases we are currently using are as follows: 1. NeedSpecify Needs, 2. Design, 3. Build, 4. Collect, 5. Process, 6. Analyse and 7. Disseminate. We also have two overarching phases 8 Quality management - evaluate and feedback and 9 Support and infrastructure.
Comparison with the Generic Statistical Process Model from 16th October v4.0 from April 2009 by the UNECE secretariat: Phase 8. Archive is covered in our model by sub-processes. The quality management part of the overarching phase Quality management/Metadata management is covered by our phase 8 Quality management - evaluate and feedback, while the metadata management part is covered in our model by sub-processes.
