EDI Messages

WG Message Status MIG Trial Operational use Coordinated with
1 Aggregated statistics
GESMES 1yes yes yes
An extremely flexible message: it can be used for the transmission of any type of multi-dimensional data or chronological series. The inclusion of metadata facilities allows the definition of data set structures, attributes and footnotes. The GESMES message can be (and is being) used to request data for which statistical concepts and nomenclatures are known. An example use of the GESMES message is for the reporting requirements from port authorities to Competent National Administrations (CNAs) and from CNAs to Eurostat (transport statistics).
REQARR -no no
Will enable requests to be sent to statistical databases for information to be provided as a GESMES message. REQARR is intended to be used in an iterative way in order to refine gradually the request until the final request for data is made. The REQARR message will use the interactive EDI syntax (I-EDI). REQARR will be useful in the DSIS/ERE environment.
