SDMX query builder

The ILOSTAT SDMX web service is based on the .Net version of the NSIWS developed by Eurostat, and provides access to the ILOSTAT labour statistics databases through the use of the SDMX standard.

SDMX Constructor

The “Constructor” is a very simple, standalone tool which is able to create and edit DSDs and their components (i.e. concept schemes and code lists) in order to generate the DSD which fits your needs and can be used by SMART to obtain the output dataset you require. It can grab concepts and associated code lists from any SDMX registry or allows to create and load them from scratch. Or it might edit an existing DSD and save it with a different id after making some changes.
