Under sib-component D5 Development of the system of classifications and standards, Improving the methodology for maintaining classifications and standards consulting mission was implemented. The classification system which has been set up presents very sound aspects in respect to the classifications themselves and also in respect to the IT system. The will to stick to international standards regarding classifications is clearly visible and results either in the classifications themselves (description, structure and content) or in the methodology which is applied (consultation and approval process, implementation plans and dissemination). This can also be seen in the CLASS system for the management of the various classifications and their different versions. Its use among the Committee for Statistics shows the strong commitment to harmonised and shared use of common tools for statisticians. 3. Under the sub-component D7, Improving the quality and methods of conducting sample surveys, a study visit was conducted. The multivariate sample method in R-Studio to carry out a sample survey in agriculture in the following areas has been implemented and automated: The process of selecting sampled surveyed units by using the multivariate sample method in R-studio software for the agriculture has been implemented and automated;\ The process of estimating basic characteristics of the general and sampled population for agriculture using R-studio (expanded sum, ratio adjustment, weighted mean, mean of positives, minimum of positives, maximum of positives) has been implemented and automated and more. 4. Under the sub-component D8, Practical training in seasonal adjustment of a number of indicators, a training course was conducted. Statistics committee of Kazakhstan aims to produce seasonal adjusted figures of main economic indicators.

Date 17-Mar-2011 18-Apr-2015 15-Sep-2015 30-Apr-2017 Comments A Consulting mission (D5-KAZ-4) on the topic “Development of Classifications and Standards" has been carried out in June 2015. The project e-stat was launched in 2011 by the government of Kazakhstan in order to renew the statistical system of Kazakhstan. According to these requirements of building an up to date statistical system, the Information and Computing Centre developed an IT system known as CLASS for the management of all statistical classifications in force in the Committee for Statistics. All staff members from the Committee for Statistics in Astana have access to the CLASS system so that it ensures harmonised dissemination and use of the valid version of each classification. The purpose of the visit was double: study the classifications and their methodology as they are in France, in order to improve the knowledge of each participants in the field of classification management (from drafting a new classification up to its implementation in the statistical system), provide recommendations on improving the “Classification and Standards” information system. The classification system which has been set up presents very sound aspects in respect to the classifications themselves and also in respect to the IT system. The will to stick to international standards regarding classifications is clearly visible and results either in the classifications themselves (description, structure and content) or in the methodology which is applied (consultation and approval process, implementation plans and dissemination). This can also be seen in the CLASS system for the management of the various classifications and their different versions. Its use among the Committee for Statistics shows the strong commitment to harmonised and shared use of common tools for statisticians. The CLASS system is a rather recent tool and has not yet experienced more sophisticated changes. Amending the CLASS system with new features allowing new tasks such as introduction of multiple splits, combination of items or automation of development of transition keys is a very challenging goal. To meet success, it is absolutely necessary that IT specialists and classification experts work together: amending the CLASS system is not only a computing specialist matter as concepts and principles underlying classifications are part of the issue. The stated goal to amend the CLASS system can be seen as part of a broader outlook and reminds of initiatives promoting dissemination and sharing of statistical data and metadata and leads to links with SDMX experiments. Improving the “Classifications and Standards” information system needs further studies to be carried out. Switzerland has a very sound knowledge on linking classifications, metadata and data dissemination, it is also a leading country in the SDMX domain.
