EEA Data Flows Standard Representation project

Introduction

Why this project?
  • To analyse, describe and compare EEA reporting data flows using standard notation, in collaboration with relevant data stewards and custodians.
  • To maintain, update and improve the applied data flow analysis methodological approach (notation, interview sheets, sharing and archiving).
  • To identify opportunities for data flow streamlining and contribute to their transition to Reportnet 3.0.
How are we carrying out this project?
  • Identify all main steps in your data flow (activities, inputs and outputs, tools, platforms, actors, products). ​
  • Structure them in four phases (Preparation, Submission, Post-processing, Products) and describe the different steps using BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) version 2.0​.
  • Meet with data stewards and custodians to share information and provide feedback.

Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) Artifacts

These are the main BPMN artifacts used in the representation of the data flows.
